Children

The Social Communication Pathway (SCP) is a multiagency team which assesses social communication difficulties in children and young people. If a young person or their family thinks they might be autistic, this team will make an assessment to see if they meet the criteria for a diagnosis of Autism.

Trafford Autism and Social Communication (TASC) Pathway

There is a new autism and social communication pathway for children registered with a Trafford doctor.

It has been designed to respond early to initial concerns about children and young people who may be experiencing social communication difficulties. These concerns could be from a parent/carers or school staff.

The pathway allows a plan to be put in place straight away to meet the child or young person's needs without requiring a formal diagnosis.
