Psychiatrist or psychologist services

Description

The authority is seeking contractor(s) to provide confidential student diagnostic assessment reports to support our students in applying for disabled students allowance (DSA). It is our intention to appoint in the region of 4 suitably qualified and experienced providers to conduct diagnostic assessments with students who have been referred in order to assess and evaluate the likelihood of all specific learning difficulties, including dyspraxia and dyscalculia, and ADHD (from an educational perspective), and to offer professional opinion on support needs and strategies and further investigation if required. We expect assessors to be alert to the possibility of visual stress and to recommend further investigation if appropriate. We will aim to allocate the service requirements equitably between the appointed providers on the framework.
