The Children’s Integrated Therapy Service run advice sessions for parents, carers and school staff to get advice for children who are not on the caseload, but where further guidance is needed. Your child does not need a referral to access an advice session. 

The aim of the sessions is to give you time to talk with a therapist about concerns you have about your child’s development.

Our therapist’s will be able to observe your child at play, talk to you about your child’s development and advise what you need to do next. You will be seen in order but you may have to wait to see the therapist.

For early years advice sessions for physiotherapy (Hillingdon Moves) and speech and language therapy (Hillingdon Talks), please contact us directly by email: citsadmin.cnwl@nhs.net. Please include your child’s details and the advice session you wish to attend. If you do not have access to email please call us on 01895 488 200.

Early years occupational therapy (Hillingdon Plays) will now join Hillingdon Children’s Centres Stay and Play sessions across the year. Parents will need to contact the children’s centres directly to book into a session (at least a week prior), during which a member of the service will be available to discuss any concerns you may have and provide advice.

By accessing Stay and Play sessions, parents have the opportunity for support and advice that the children’s centres have to offer. Parents can also seek advice by calling the advice line.
