Service URL: http://www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk
If a child has additional support needs or a disability that is identified at birth or during their early years, a health visitor or similar professional will contact the Early Years Multi-Agency Team (EYMAT). This involves psychological services, education, health and social work services. They will work with you to look what you child needs and co-ordinate the help and services available. EYMAT can also give you advice on services, medical and benefits information and look with you at the best options for your child at nursery school and school. Anyone with an interest in the child can make a referral to EYMAT although it is usually made by health services as they often have the first contact with parents and their children.
