Specialist and targeted services
Children with special educational needs and disabilities will need support from different health services at different stages in their lives.
Some children and young people with SEND and disabilities will have more complex needs and may need more specialist services (also called secondary services).
Some of the health professionals who may be involved in healthcare for children and young people with disabilities are:
- Children's Integrated Therapy Service - a team of qualified speech and language therapists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists who work together with 0 to 19-year-olds, their families and professionals/settings to support them through assessment, therapy, training and advice
- Hillingdon Community Paediatrician Team - works with children who have complex needs, disabilities or long-term conditions
- CNWL Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) - supporting children and young people with their mental health and emotional wellbeing.
