Hampshire Neurodiversity and Wellbeing Multi-Disciplinary Team

Here to support you and your child — with or without a diagnosis

Welcome to our Neurodiversity Hub. We know it can feel overwhelming when you think your child might be neurodivergent. You may have questions, worries, or feel unsure about what help is available. This page brings together information and resources to help you feel supported and better informed. 

The Hampshire Neurodiversity and Wellbeing Multi‑Disciplinary Team (NDW MDT) supports parents and carers of children and young people aged 9 months to 19 years. We help families understand how a child or young person’s emotions, responses, thinking patterns, and behaviours may relate to neurodivergence. 

As part of our collaborative approach with children, young people, parent, carers and schools, we aim to strengthen awareness and understanding within educational settings. We do this by drawing on training, support and specialist skills from a range of services, including Therapies, Educational Psychology, the Primary Behaviour Service and Inclusion Services. 

All of our work supports the development of inclusive environments that recognise and respond to the needs of neurodivergent children and young people. 

How this team can help 

If your child is neurodivergent, or if you are noticing emerging neurodivergent traits, you do not need to wait for a formal diagnosis to access support. The team provides universal advice, guidance, and signposting for families and professionals, helping you feel more confident and supported. 

The NDW MDT is not a diagnostic or case‑holding service. Instead, we work alongside parents and carers, education settings, and other professionals to: 

  • explore areas of need 

  • provide advice and recommendations 

  • support access to other services where appropriate 

Reasons you might contact or be referred to this service include: 

  • concerns about possible neurodivergence, including autistic traits, attention related differences, speech and language delay, social communication or interaction differences, and associated social or emotional needs 

  • concerns about a child or young person’s development that are causing challenges at home, in education, or across both settings 

How to contact the team 

Parents and carers are encouraged to talk with their child’s key worker or a trusted adult in their school or setting to explore concerns together and consider how further support for inclusion and neurodiversity may be offered through the education setting’s ordinarily available provision. If additional support is needed, the NDW MDT team can help. 

Families and professionals with concerns can contact the team for advice and guidance using the online contact form.
