Referral Criteria
We see the following children:
• Children up to the age of seven years old, where there is concern about their neuro-developmental progress.
• Older children with conditions of complex disability.
• Older children who present with unexplained learning disability (we will exclude medical causes of learning disability but we are not able to provide detailed cognitive assessments; this would be the remit of an education psychologist).
• Children who require a medical assessment as part of their education, health and care needs assessment.
