Private Neuro Diverse Team?

[katiewil]

Hi all my 3 y/o DD just started school and the school want to make the referral to the ND team as soon as possible as the waiting list is almost 2 years..
She is currently on S&L waiting list, has had sessions with Ed Pyschologist and Language and Play team.
She has come on quite a lot with her words, but only speaks to me and DH, she doesn't answer her name when called, doesn't follow instructions at all, and doesn't follow any sort of structured play we try with her..
School are concerned as she has no sense of danger or awareness of others.. she's took the paints from painting area and decided to paint the books in the reading corner.. she filled the water table with porridge oats, she turns light on and off the list goes on
There's lots of signs and quirks that she has that makes me firmly believe that she is somewhere on the spectrum..
Anyway my question is does anyone no if there's a private ND team referral? As I want her to have the support as soon as possible xx

Is so just 3 @katiewil or neatly 4?

Once she's 4 school can refer to Caudwell Children.

It might be giving them a ring and seeing if they will accept a referral a few weeks before she's 4

She turned 3 end of September so started school first week of jan as a rising 3, they want to make referral now as they said it can take 2 years for neurodiverse team 😭 xx

Forgot to add that the SN Section on MN is usually a very useful place too.

Thankyou, I'll add on there aswell.. wasn't sure where to post x

I'd let them do that referral but ask if you can be referred to Caudwell Children nearer to her 4th birthday as their assessment process takes 12 weeks and you get 12 months support.

Thankyou, I'll definately speak to them and ask them to refer her when she's 4 also x

Where about in the UK are you? I've been researching into the private assessments and I've gathered quite a lot of info! My daughter is 4, but many of the ones I have looked at are from 3 - and they follow the correct guidelines etc. Not cheap though...

Did you have a look at Caudwell Children @Emilyh1986? You can usually get some help with the funding, depending on your income.
