Paediatric Developmental Trauma & Sensory Attachment Service
Specialised paediatric assessment and support
Welcome to PDTSAS
We assess children and young people by considering factors from conception to the present day.
At PDTSAS, we conduct a holistic paediatric assessment, including your child's strengths and family's goals. This considers various factors that could be contributing towards your child's current profile. We then provide a detailed report, including a formulation/understanding and full recommendations; which provide you, your child and the supporting professionals with bespoke resources and advice.
We currently only work with adoptive families.
Our ethos includes recognising 'it's not what is wrong with a child - it's what has happened to a child'.
When thinking about support, the Jon Kabat-Zinn quote often comes to mind: "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf".
