SALT DONE URGENT REFERALS

[babybellx]

Hi everyone please share your thoughts! Worried mother here .
son 40months old had his first speech and language appointment.
the therapist has told me she will be putting referals to OT (occupational therapy) & pediatrician. This is first time she met him, I see her worries too.
has anyone been in this situation would this mean she is highly concerned for him? And how likely are the referrals to be accepted? Can they be declined. Waiting for his report.
PLEASE ANYONE GIVE EXPERIENCE OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS OR SIMILAR SITUATION.
thank you

It means the SALT thinks further assessment is needed. It is good she recognised DS’s difficulties and made referrals accordingly. Referrals can be declined. It is impossible to say how likely that is because it will depend on the specific concerns, and to some extent where you live.
