Outpatient<br />
Assessment<br />
Treatment<br />
The assessment lasts for approximately eight hours <strong>and</strong> if complex<br />
may be split across two appointments. It includes interviews with the<br />
young person <strong>and</strong> their parents or carers to obtain their view of the<br />
problem. Neuropsychological tests provide a profile of the young<br />
person’s strengths <strong>and</strong> difficulties. Emotional, social <strong>and</strong> behavioural<br />
functioning is quantified using self-report measures. A report about<br />
the young person’s presentation is given to the referrer, family or court.<br />
Some assessments may require a school or home visit, or additional<br />
psychometric tests which incur additional charges of £296 per<br />
appointment, up to a maximum of £888.<br />
Our treatment sessions meet the needs of the young person,<br />
their family <strong>and</strong> school, these may include:<br />
