Local Offer update

Neurodevelopmental Disorder (NDD) Pathway
As you may be aware, the NDD Pathway was launched in September 2020 after extensive development with all of our partners. The pathway is used by both families and professionals to outline the support available for children and young people with a broad range of neurodevelopmental difficulties.
We always value feedback from families and all of our partners, and as a result the NDD Pathway is reviewed regularly. We have recently added new material and resources to continue supporting families and professionals.
If you or someone you know would like more information or support regarding a child’s development, please access the Central Bedfordshire's NDD Pathway
