Portage is a home visiting educational service for pre-school children with special educational needs. These may be pre-school children who have learning difficulties, delays in their development and/or physical difficulties. The Portage Teams aim to help families by working with them in their home, helping them to meet the needs of their child. The Team can refer children on to other therapists e.g. Speech and Language Therapy, Physiotherapy and EarlyBird, if it is felt that they would be beneficial. We are not able to refer directly to some services. Physio and Occupational Therapy services require a Doctor's referral. Parents telephone to refer themselves to EarlyBird in their area.
