Community Learning Disability Teams (18+) CLDTs (incl. Speech & Occupational Therapy)

Service

CLDTs are multidisciplinary teams who support adults with a learning disability and their carers. Specialist health professionals provide support to people with a significant learning disability who, even with reasonable adjustments cannot access generic services and/or require specialist health assessment and treatment. They work closely with social care and other agencies including your GP.

What we do:

  • The CLDT can also offer dementia assessments for older people with a learning disability and for people who have Down Syndrome over the age of 30 we can offer screening for early dementia.
  • We do not support people who have autism without a significant learning disability or those solely requesting an assessment for autism.
  • There are three local community learning disability teams. Contact your nearest team to find out more about the specialist health support that is available and request an assessment.
  • Northern CLDT - Crawley, Horsham, Mid Sussex Western CLDT - Chichester, Bognor & Midhurst Coastal CLDT - Shoreham, Worthing, Littlehampton & Lancing
  • We have an open referral system (sometimes we will ask you to visit your GP) and can accept referrals via our portal: https://portal.spft.nhs.uk/learningdisability/ or you can call 01903 846656 or email [email protected]
