If your child is seen by a Health Visitor please discuss your concerns with them first and if their needs cannot be met through their intervention they can make a referral.

If your child is in School, Pre-school or Nursery, please discuss your concerns with the SENCO who may then make a referral if their needs cannot be met through the Pre-school/nursery/school provision.

Referrals can also be made by other health professionals including your GP.

Referral Criteria:

The child must have 3 or more areas of concern. These must be functional and impact on their ability to participate in activities of daily living.

For any referring professional, please use the form below to fill in your referral and you can send it to:
