New Neurodevelopment Service website launches to support children, young people and their families

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has developed a new, user-friendly website to help children, young people and families gain a better understanding of the Neurodevelopmental Service.

We understand that parents and caregivers want to understand the challenges their child may be experiencing, how they can best support them and what support is offered by the Neurodevelopmental Service.

The new website cavyoungneurodevelopment.wales is tailored to support parents and caregivers who may be worried about their child's development, have been referred to the service or have received a diagnosis.

The Children and Young People's Neurodevelopment Service offers specialist support including assessment, intervention and advice for children and young people who have or may have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The multi-disciplinary team works closely with partner organisations such as schools, education authorities, social services and third sector organisations to meet the needs of children, young people and their families in an effective and holistic way.

Visitors to the website can find practical information about the service, what children, young people and families can expect and the resources and support available both before and after an assessment. Additionally, the website also includes information and advice to help children and young people understand some of their thoughts and feelings and find relevant support.

Furthermore, the website provides essential resources and guidance for healthcare professionals who work with children and young people, including the single point of access for referral.

To visit the new website, head to cavyoungneurodevelopment.wales.
