Trafford Extended Service

Extended Service is a specialist, multi-disciplinary, community-based team providing a range of interventions and support including:

  • An autism diagnosis service, with focussed post-diagnostic and group support
  • Consultation, supervision and training to individuals and services who need assistance to develop skills working with people with adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism
  • Diagnosis, pharmacological intervention and focused support for service users with adult ADHD, in particular for those clients in transition from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)
  • Care coordination for a small number of Autism/ADHD service users with complex presentations whose needs cannot be met by other mainstream teams.

 

Wellbeing Strategies for Autism Booklet

The Wellbeing Strategies for Autism booklet is designed to support autistic individuals, and those waiting for an autism assessment, by promoting a holistic approach to understanding and navigating life on the spectrum.

It also serves as a resource for parents, caregivers, health professionals, and anyone working with people who are autistic, offering valuable insights into what autism is, practical coping strategies, available support resources, self-care tips, and additional guidance.
