Young Adults team
The Young Adult's team (YAT) is a Multidisciplinary team set up in 2021 to support school leavers with complex needs within CHO7.
We have a full clinical team comprising of Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Psychology, Social Work, Behavior Support, and Speech and language therapy.
The aims of the multidisciplinary team is:
- To provide Multidisciplinary team (MDT) supports to young adults with complex needs upon transitioning from school to day service provision.
- To support better, planned, and streamlined services for young adults with complex needs upon leaving school.
- To capture the goals and recommendations in the individual’s person-centred plan upon closing an episode of care, where relevant.
Criteria for access to the YAT includes:
- Young person has left school and is aged 18 - 26 years of age.
- Young person lives or attends a day service in DSKWW.
- Young person presents with complex disability related needs, which requires support from 2 or more disciplines on the team, and whose needs would not be more appropriately addressed within the framework of a Primary Care or Mental health Service.
- The day service the young person attends or is due to attend, does not have provision of multi-disciplinary support as part of their service level agreement. Where a day service has discipline specific clinical support available, this should be exhausted prior to a referral to the Young Adults team.
