No, you do not need a diagnosis to access support.

Support and Inclusion is needs led and not determined by any formal diagnosis. This means your child or young person can be supported through the Graduated Response toolkits as soon as a need is identified.

These needs may be identified by anyone working or knowing your child or young person. For example; a parent carer, a teacher, a health visitor or a support worker.

Once identified, needs will be supported using the Assess, Plan, Do Review cycle below.
