Intensive Community Assessment and Treatment Team (ICATT)

ICATT provide a specialist intensive support service to adults with intellectual disabilities and / or other developmental conditions, such as autism.

Referrals are likely to be for people experiencing a mental health or behavioural difficulty that is putting their home situation or key relationships at risk of breakdown. The person's needs may also be placing them at risk of hospital admission, possibly under the Mental Health Act (1983).

Some referrals are for people already in hospital, to support their safe and effective discharge back into the community so that they do not stay in hospital any longer than they need to.

 

What we can help with

We support individuals and their supporters in the most suitable and therapeutic environments. These may include family homes, individual tenancies, residential and supported living settings, day services, colleges and other types of specialist accommodation. 

We offer support in a number of areas related to people's mental health and / or behavioural needs. These may include:

  • Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
  • Communication 
  • Sensory needs
  • Medication
  • Psychological therapy
  • Trauma, attachment and personality difficulties
  • Person specific staff training and support

We work mostly with adults over 18 years old who have a diagnosis of an intellectual disability, sometimes called a learning disability. 

We also offer a short-term behavioural support service for a small number of autistic adults who do not have an intellectual disability. There is a specific eligibility criteria for this service

The team includes:

  • Nursing
  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Speech and Language Therapy
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Admin Support
  • Community Support Worker
