Referrer details

If you are a parent, carer or school requesting support for a child with sensory processing difficulties, you do not need to make a referral. The first step of the pathway for SPD support is to book on to the ADDvanced Solutions sensory processing awareness training course (parents) or the SPD in education training course (schools) and trial the strategies. We can only accept referrals for further support once you have attended the training. See our information on SPD and how to book onto a course. If you have not attended the training and submit a referral, it will be rejected.
