“Progressing Disability Services (PDS) is a national programme to reorganise children’s disability services. The vison of the ‘Progressing Disability Services for Children and Young People’ Programme is that each child or young person with a disability is supported to achieve their full potential.
In line with the National Policy on Access to Services for Children and Young People with Complex Needs:
* Children with non-complex needs will receive their services at
Primary Care services level.
* Children with complex needs will receive their services at Children’s
Disability Network Team level
Specialist supports will be developed in each CHO area to provide
* Training and consultation for Primary Care services and
Children’s Disability Network Teams and/or
* Direct intervention for children where and when necessary to
respond to the exceptional complexity or specialist nature of
their needs. The Children's Disability Network Team or Primary Care services will remain the service provider for these children with a disability and their families.
Disability Network teams can and should as specialist services provide for children with complex needs. These teams will be appropriately resourced in numbers and competencies over time. It is recognised that specialist support will be needed at times for a small number of children whose specific needs require a level of expertise which may not solely be met by these teams “.
