Cwestiynau Cyffredin

Oes angen i'r apwyntiad ADOS-2 fod wyneb yn wyneb?

Mae apwyntiad ADOS-2 yn 'asesiad arsylwadol' pwysig. Mae hyn yn golygu asesiad o sut rydych chi'n cyflwyno'n bersonol. Felly, yn y rhan fwyaf o amgylchiadau, mae angen i'r apwyntiad hwn fod wyneb yn wyneb. Mae amgylchiadau eithriadol lle mae angen apwyntiad rhithwir ar gyfer hyn ac felly mewn rhai achosion, bydd yn cael ei gynnal yn rhithwir.

Gellir cwblhau'r apwyntiadau eraill yn rhithiol ac nid oes rhaid eu cwblhau wyneb yn wyneb.

Beth yw'r amserlenni ar gyfer fy asesiad?

Please see our Hysbysfwrdd Cleifion for current wait times for your first appointment (from the point of your referral being accepted). All waiting times are estimates and cannot be guaranteed.

Report times are subject to change, and dependant on various factors, please contact us if it has been over 8 weeks since your assessment for an up to date time frame.
