ASESSMENT AND GUIDANCE SERVICES
The Dyscovery Centre has an interdisciplinary team of health and educational professionals who provide assessments tailored to the needs of the individual. Every individual is different - we don't have a 'one size fits all' approach but listen to the individual to take a holistic approach of needs at school, home, college and the workplace.
The Centre team provides assessments and guidance for:
- Children
- Adolescents
- Adults in college, university and the workplace
- Parents
This may take place at the Centre or in the most appropriate settings. Intervention may be through individual or group sessions, or through therapeutic holiday programmes based at the Centre.
Other WEBSITES from The Dyscovery Centre team:
