OlGC School is supported by a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) provided by the Brothers of Charity.

The MDT operate in collaboration with Teachers and Parents of pupils in OLGC School.

Not all pupils require input from every member of the MDT, therefore a referral system allows the team to screen pupils in order of priority.

Parents and Teachers may make a referral to one discipline (uni-disciplinary referral) if they are targeting a specific area, eg. communication needs, sensory needs.

In some cases input from 2 or more disciplines is required; parents and teachers may make a multi- disciplinary referral to target a more complex issue.

Referral forms are available from the Class Teacher or from the school office on request.

Teachers link with parents prior to making a referral request, and parents must consent to the referral by signing the documentation.

Current provision of hours per week for the school year 2019/2020  is as follows and may be subject to change;

Speech and Language Therapy- 4 days.

Occupational Therapy- 1.5 days

Physiotherapy- 1.5 days
