Your referral to us should include:

A referral letter and a copy of the CCG letter confirming approved funding for assessment
A completed referral form
Wherever possible, copies of letters, reports and information provided by health professionals involved in the child’s care (e.g. Dietitian, Speech and Language Therapist etc)

We will then start the assessment process:

We will send an appointment for the family and the child
We will arrange a meeting with health professionals involved in the child‘s care
We will complete face-to-face and video observations of the child at mealtimes
We will analyse the information collated and produce a psychological formulation of the child’s feeding disorder
We will produce a comprehensive written report summarising all of this information
The report will include recommendations for management strategies and on-going treatment as well as costs of any further treatment that may be recommended

A copy of our assessment report is sent to the interested parts (referrer, the child’s parents and the CCG)
