Trafford Combined ADHD Service: TCAS
About our Service
There is a new ADHD pathway primarily for children aged between 6 and 18 years old. It includes a new service called Trafford Combined ADHD Service (TCAS).
This is jointly provided by Community Paediatricians and Healthy Young Minds who provide Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).
The pathway encourages schools to identify children with behaviour difficulties, address any learning and training needs, and put the appropriate behaviour strategies in place based on your child’s needs and without waiting for a formal diagnosis.
For more information please see: Trafford Combined ADHD Service: TCAS
