What is a Children's Disability Network Team or CDNT?
A Children's Disability Network Team is a team of healthcare and social care professionals supported by admin staff, who provide supports and services for children with complex needs. The team aims to focus on the child's strengths and set goals with the family which support the child in meaningful ways.
This website provides information on our Children's Disability Network Teams (CDNTs) in Carlow, Dublin South, Kilkenny, South Tipperary, Waterford, Wicklow and Wexford . This area was previously known as the Community Health Organisation 5 (CHO5) and 6 (CHO6) area.
The Dublin and South East health region has 3 healthcare areas:
