The CAMHS Intellectual Disability Service
The CAMHS Intellectual Disability Service works with children and young people who:
- are between 0 to 18 years old
- and have significant developmental delay or a learning disability (with or without autism)
- and have mental health or complex behavioural problems.
We also work closely with and support families and carers. As well as an outpatient service, we also offer specialist Early Years and Intensive Treatment Services.

The Paediatric Psychology and Liaison Service (PPALS)
The PPALS Service works with children and young people who:
- are under the care of a consultant at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People
- and have a physical health condition
- and are experiencing psychological or behavioural issues related to their physical health condition
- and the difficulties impact significantly on their day-to-day functioning (e.g. disrupted school attendance/home life, relationship difficulties, clear signs of psychological distress or mental health issues relating to the young person’s physical symptoms)
