Guest guest Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks and Tonia for your messages today and everyone else from previous days. I have an appointment with the GP on Tuesday as I need a referral from them to CAMHS-LD & Disabled Childrens Team (Social Services) to see if we can be assessed for the Disabled Facilities Grant. We're not currently open to any services (except Speech Therapy) so need a new referral (sigh)...everything seems to take so long doesn't it? I didn't know about the tag system, wonder if anyone on here has had more direct experience of this.Thanks again.Jayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hi Jayne, I don't know about a tag, but the umbrella term for all sorts of electronic type equipment is 'assistive technology' which social services should be very familiar with.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Jayne, I think the key person will be the occupational therapist. What I would do to try and get the shortest referral route (I suppose you may still need to get the other services involved) would be to ring up your local district/City council (or Unitary Authority if that's what you have) and ask for the housing team that deals with disabled facilities grants (ours is called Home Aid) and they will know which occupational therapists they deal with regarding children's cases.
