SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPY REFERRAL
When Considering Referral to Speech and Language Therapy – Child in School
Please consider the following questions before you fill in the referral form, to make sure you need to proceed with the referral. The school’s visiting SLT will be happy to discuss the issue in general terms before you refer.
Has the pupil been known to SLT before?
No Yes Don’t know
If yes, do any previous reports in the school records address your current questions?
Have you consulted the:
Entitlement Document? Speech and Language Friendly Schools Guidelines?
Have you tried any of the suggested strategies?
Have you tried language related IEP targets?
Have other professionals given advice?
Have you included the pupil in any ongoing school-based language interventions (e.g. Talking Partners)?
What further information are you looking for from SLT?
If we do receive a referral the pupil will be assessed in one of the following situations:
If the difficulty is with understanding or using language, or with social communication, we will see the child at school.
We will need information from the family. If you proceed with the referral, please ensure the family understands that we will need to take a Case History from them. Ideally we would meet the family at school. Please note here if the parents have any restrictions about times they can meet us.
If the difficulty is with pronunciation or stammering, we will invite the child to a clinic.
We will need the family to bring the child for assessment and to any subsequent appointments for us to address the problem with them. Although we will try to be flexible about timings, our clinics are held at specific times, and appointments may need to be within school hours.
