A referral can be made when there are concerns about a child or young person’s:
These differences must be present in more than one place and there must be some evidence from early childhood. It must have a functional impact on the child or young person’s everyday life.
A referral will be triaged by a member of the ND team who will consider all the information provided. With parent/carer consent we will look at information from other teams you are known to and pull this information together.
The referral may be accepted and placed on a waiting list for assessment. Sometimes we will request further screening tools or questionnaires to be filled out before the first appointment.
We may decline the referral if it is inappropriate or due to lack of evidence. We will send recommended actions and signposting in the case that we do not accept a referral.
