Speech and language therapy operates an open referral system. This means that individuals, carers or any professionals can request assistance when there is concern about a person’s wellbeing as a result of speech, language, communication or eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties.
All requests must have the consent of the individual or appropriate guardian.
All requests are considered to identify what is most likely to help at this point in time. Responses may include:
- Advice
- Reassurance
- Signposting to a more relevant source of help
- Assessment
Referrals to Learning Disability SLT should be made according to the council area the individual lives in. Details on where to return completed referrals are included on each form.
