Eligibility criteria for your service and any priority groups
Pre- school children with DLD are eligible to use the service.
Children are referred to the centre by Speech and Language Therapists and by Early Years Inclusion Teachers.
Children are assessed by a speech and language therapist and evidence is provided by the therapist and teacher (who will have sought parents’/carers’ views) about the child’s needs and their impact on the child’s well being and development.
All the evidence is then taken to the centre admissions panel where the severity of the child’s needs and the appropriateness of a place at the centre is discussed and a decision is arrived at.
The therapist will already have talked with parents about the provision at the centre.
