People across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin are being invited to share their views about ADHD and autism services to help shape improvements for children, young people, adults, and families. You may have received a diagnosis, be waiting for an assessment or self-identify as being autistic, having ADHD or AuDHD (Autism and ADHD).
We know that services are sometimes not as joined up as they could be and demand is increasing. Many people face long waits for assessments, experience inconsistent access to services, and are at increased risk of poor outcomes due to delays, especially during critical transition points in life.
Whether you have used services yourself, support someone as a parent or carer, or may need them in the future, your voice matters. This is an important opportunity to influence how services are designed, delivered and improved to better meet the needs of our communities. We want everyone to feel included and valued across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin
Your feedback will be used, along with data and insight already gathered by our health and care partners and patient experience team, to identify what is working well, what support is missing, and how we can make best use of the resources available to shape services that are more responsive, inclusive and person-centred.
Everyone’s perspective is important – from children, teenagers, adults and older adults with lived experience, to families, carers and professionals.
