Screening clinics are run for Physiotherapy and Podiatry by qualified Physiotherapists and Podiatrists.

The purpose of this clinic is to screen your child to further understand their development.

There maybe three different outcomes to this appointment:

  1. Your child is discharged as it is felt that they are demonstrating age appropriate skills
  2.  Your child will be signposted to other agencies for support with their development. You may be given ideas for you to carry out with your child to aid their development and discharged from this clinic
  3. Your child will be referred into one of our pathways for further assessment.

 

Your child may have been referred to see one of our professionals. You will be allocated a 10-15 min slot with a member of staff to talk through your concerns. Please bring the screening form (which is sent out prior to the appointment) with you, completed. You will be asked about your child’s birth, developmental milestones and medical history during the appointment. You may be asked to remove your child’s clothing for the assessment, if you child is not comfortable with this, please ensure that they are wearing loose clothing.

Health Visitors, Nursery or any professional involved with the child are able to make a referral to the service by filling in the online referral form.
