Referral Criteria

Foundations First Referrals
​Acceptance of referrals is solely at the discretion of Foundations First NI.
​

Referrals are accepted from:

• Parents/carers
• Other health /education providers with parental consent

​The Foundations First therapy service is primarily for preschool aged children with developmental concerns in the areas of:

• Engagement 
• Attention and listening
• Sensory processing
• Motor co-ordination
• Speech, Language and communication difficulties

When considering a referral, it is our aim to meet both your child’s needs and the family expectations at this given time.  It may be the case that our involvement would be more appropriate at a future date and the referral could be considered at a later stage.

Should the referral be declined, the family will be notified personally by a member of the Foundations First team, written notification will be forwarded and the consultation fee will be refunded.
