Developmental red flags - when to refer
Developmental Assessment (paediatrics.co.uk)
In Barnsley a referral is made to community paediatrics if there is either:
· 2 or more areas of development delayed (Global delay or now more frequently referred to as EDI – Early developmental Impairment)
· Isolated delay in motor skills (and at the same time a referral must be made to OT or physio)
· Referrals for speech delay can only be accepted by speech therapist – so any delay should be referred to speech therapy
The very young children (i.e. at 6 week check) tend not to be seen by us and usually get referred to acute paediatrics.
If there are any doubts about if a child should be referred we are always more than happy to talk on phone to find the best approach for the child.
