Early Identification and Intervention to Better Support Children and Young People’s Therapy Needs

This strategy proposes a shared approach to therapy provision and support in Buckinghamshire.

It aims:

• to identify CYPs needs and provide them with therapy support at the earliest opportunity
• to reduce demand and dependency on limited specialist support. This support is then available for children with more complex needs

This approach:

• builds on a range of evidence-based guidance
• considers how other areas have improved therapy delivery
• moves away from referring all children to an expert therapist for support
• develops expertise within the child’s everyday environment
