About this service

PALMS (positive behaviour, autism, learning disability and mental health service) works across Hertfordshire providing a specialist multidisciplinary approach to children and young people aged 0-18 who have an intellectual learning disability and/or are autistic and their families. PALMS clinicians comprise a ‘virtual team’ delivering a consistent service in a variety of community settings.

PALMS is a multi-disciplinary team who provide individually tailored support to help manage a number of concerns experienced at home. The service is available for children and young people up to the age of 18.

PALMS aims to keep children and young people with their families within Hertfordshire thereby improving outcomes for all family members.

We are a family-led service working to understand and support the significant impact of challenges experienced by families of children and young people with intellectual disabilities and/or who are autistic. To achieve this, we work closely with children and young people, their families, colleagues and commissioners and view working closely as a key approach that underpins PALMS.

We strive to focus on both prevention and intervention. We endeavour to help children and young people move towards attaining their ambitions and leading happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. We aim to promote the involvement of children, young people and their families and carers in the evolution of PALMS in a meaningful and helpful way for the local communities across Hertfordshire

We are a cohesive team who support one another to work in dynamic and innovate ways to provide the best possible service.

If you need to contact the PALMS team please call 01727 582122, Alternatively professionals and families are encouraged to contact the service by email: [email protected]
