Home or childminder - My child has significant developmental delay in three or more areas
Some children have a developmental delay in several areas of development.
If your child is not meeting most age-related expectations, they will need support to help them make progress.
If you have tried the approaches on our ‘Supporting your child's development’ page, but your child is still not making progress, then you should talk to your health visitor.
Your health visitor will need to assess your child's levels of development. If this shows a significant delay, they will make an Early Years Team Around the Child (EY TAC) referral. Your referral paperwork is sent to a multi-agency panel, who will decide what services your child needs.
An EY TAC referral can ask for support from our:
- Early Years team
- Solihull Inclusion Support Service Sensory and Physical Impairment (SISS SPI) team
- Speech and Language Therapy team.
Areas of support
The EY TAC panel looks at each application for support and then decides which support is best suited to your child.
| Team offering support | What will happen |
|---|---|
| Early Years | An Inclusion Support Practitioner (ISP) will contact you to arrange a visit to your home. Please see the video of what to expect from ISP support. |
| SISS SPI | A member of the team will contact you |
| Speech and Language Therapy | You will receive a letter to confirm you are on the waiting list |
