Our process

At HSR Psychology we ensure that we meet the needs of children and young people. To achieve this we ensure that any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work, is only carried out following an initial discussion.

An initial discussion allows us to understand the background and your expectations of our involvement. Having an initial discussion ensures any services we provide appropriately identify or address needs.

Our process for any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work is as follows:

Step 1: Contact us

We will usually be contacted by the child or young person, parent or carer, or another professional (eg education or health).

How are needs related to strokes assessed?

At HSR Psychology we carry out assessments to identify specific areas of needs a child or young person may have. We can identify needs in relation to the following areas:

An assessment can include any of the following:

Psychometric assessments

To identify a child or young person’s profile of strengths and needs, our psychologists can carry out a full cognitive assessment. This assessment looks at a range of areas within cognition, learning and language.

Here at HSR Psychology we can use many psychometric assessments to identify needs within the areas listed above.

Clinical interview

A clinical interview involves a member of the HSR Psychology team speaking with the child or young person and the adults around them. Clinical interviews help our team to collate information from a range of areas within a child or young person’s life to complete a holistic assessment. 

Observation

Observations are useful as they mean that our team can observe a child or young person’s honest interactions and behaviours within their daily life. 

Each child and young person is unique and so are their needs, this means that the specific assessments used will be decided by our team members on a case by case basis following an initial discussion

What happens after an assessment?

Following an assessment for needs relating to a stroke in children and young people, a report will be provided with recommendations. Recommendations may include support which HSR Psychology can provide, strategies for home or school, or information about onwards referral to another professional. 

What interventions do we support?

HSR Psychology provide and support a broad range of interventions to help children and young people who have had a stroke and require additional support, including:

The above list is not exhaustive, so if you have a particular intervention in mind which is not listed above then please contact us to find out how we can help.
