Diagnostic services for neurodivergent prisoners
Tobias Corbett made this Official Information request to Department of Corrections
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Tobias Corbett to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Tobias Corbett
Kia Ora Department of Corrections,
I am writing to you requesting the following information:
- Does the Department have a record of neurodivergent (Autism, ADHD, ADD, etc) prisoners?
- If so, does the Department provide any particular services for those prisoners?
- If a prisoner suspects they may be neurodivergent, what is the process they must go through to receive a formal diagnosis?
- What percentage of prisoners who seek a diagnosis are actually seen by a qualified psychiatrist?
- What steps are taken within prisons to educate prisoners on the symptoms and signifiers of neurodivergence, and to educate them on what they can do if they suspect they are neurodivergent?
I appreciate your time and consideration.
Ngā Mihi,
Tobias Corbett
