You can have your Positive Behaviour Support Plan designed at Midland Health Sensory assessment - Used to identify behavioural problems caused by sensory difficulties. It can be used to construct a plan on how to satisfy a person’s sensory needs without the undesired behaviour Communication assessment - This assessment can help pinpoint specific difficulties and the best ways to communicate with your child to avoid those. Usually offered by a Speech Therapist educated in working with people with learning disabilities  If you require additional behavioural support, you can get in touch with the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) to request an emotional, behavioural or mental health assessment for children and young people.
