Had to go private
Paediatrics/children services
February 5, 2025
I had to go private for a diagnosis for my son as they said he would be in year 6 by the time they would do one. He would not have thrived at school and failed with no support.
They did assessments

They came out and did an assessment (EHCP) that is all that has been done. The clinical partners are really good. They carried out the diagnosis.
Inadequate and understaffed
Occupational therapy services
February 5, 2025
OT is inadequate, they see you once every 6 months and give a you a six page leaflet that gives you a run down on what to do. It's all under resourced and understaffed. Totally underfunded. They can't give my child want she needs. Therapy provision is way way way too little.
Given leaflets

The school nurse spoke to them last year and we found out my daughter was on a pathway, which we never knew. We got some leaflets to support but there is no clear outline whilst we wait for assessments.
Sent on our way

It took a while to get sensory support and occupational therapy for my child. We were given leaflets and then sent on our way.
Long waits for referrals and diagnosis
Paediatrics/children services

Referral was made when he was 3 and it took over a year and a half. He has seen speech and language, psychiatrists, children centre etc etc for them to make decisions and he is now 9. When he was finally diagnosed it was simply half a page and then nothing. Good luck with your life.

The palliative team from Perry Trees were amazing. They supported my husband all the way through until his last day. They were so caring, kind and thoughtful. They were just amazing.
