Learning disability

[Frog124]

Son was supposed to receive a learning disability assessment through CAMHS. CLDT have said cognitive assessment was carried out and wasn't low enough to show sld or any learning disability. However is this the standard way of screening or eliminating learning disability or spd ??

I would challenge if your not happy with what they’re saying speak to Mencap helpline to see if they can advise you

mental health services are much worse then CLDT's so I would resubmit for reassessment with LD teams. Maybe too late though.

[Frog124 in reply to parasiticworm]

Yeah they refused based on that a cognitive assessment was carried out

What did he score in his IQ assessment? Some CLDT still have patients that score below IQ80 who they support.

[Frog124 in reply to parasiticworm]

They didn't do one !

I agree CLDT my Son scored iq70, but I still pushed for Assessment, he has ASDc, DD, ADD/ADHD, Delayed Processing, Dyslexic & developed Paranoid Schizophrenia, through bullying & trauma, then inpatient stay, caused more Trauma.

They haven't even done an iq test. The cldt refused to even assess

[parasiticworm in reply to Frog124]

Did they give a reason why they didn't assess?

[Frog124 in reply to parasiticworm]

Because CAMHS carried out a cognitive assessment
