The Adult Neurodiversity Service based at Val Waterhouse Centre provides services for adults with a learning disability.
We are very proud of our services and we would like to take the opportunity to introduce them to you in celebration of Learning Disability Awareness Week.

A multidisciplinary team consisting of Health & Wellbeing Co-ordinators, Learning Disability Nurses, a Physiotherapist, an Occupational Therapist, a Speech & Language Therapist, Therapy Assistants and Carers Wellbeing Workers. This team concentrates on meeting the health and social needs of people with learning disabilities and offers support and advice to their support network.
The Intensive Support Team (IST)
This team support individuals with complex needs and behaviours of concern. The IST consists of Clinical Psychologists, a Systemic Family Therapist, a Learning Disability Nurse Prescriber, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Practitioners, PBS Leads, a Speech & Language Therapist and a Consultant Psychiatrist. Assessment and intervention programmes are provided to individuals and their supporters.
Cromwell Road Day Centre
The services at Cromwell Road Day Centre offer a range of therapeutic and community day activities for people with physical/learning disabilities or complex needs. These activities are tailored to the individual’s needs, with the primary goal of helping them develop their skills and improve their quality of life. Our activities are designed to help our service users build physical and emotional strength, increase independence, develop social skills, and participate more actively in their communities.
The Learning Disability Psychology Service and Systemic Family Therapy (SFT) Service support the mental health needs of adults with a learning disability and/or autistic individuals and their families. The Forensic Outreach Liaison Service (FOLS) supports autistic and/or adults with learning disabilities who are at risk of offending or who have an offending history to live safely within their local community.
Look out for our posts throughout Learning Disability Awareness Week 2024, which runs from 17th – 23rd June 2024, where we will be celebrating the work of individual teams and the learning disability community.
