Early Identification of Special Educational Need
On this page you will find information and guidance about what to do if you think your child (0-5) has special educational needs and don't know where to begin.
If you are concerned about your child's development or have noticed that they are not reaching typical milestones, such as crawling, talking, or walking at the expected age, it is important to document your observations and consult a professional. Your first professional to contact is your Health Visitor.
If your child is not in an Early Years setting, you should speak to your Health visitor or GP. If your child is in an Early Years setting, you should also speak to your setting's SENCo/Keyworker.
