A small proportion children born in any part of world will have some disorder or developmental delay or would have suffered some disease or disorder or accident causing disabilities,which may be life long and severe. In need of specialist therapies. These therapies are essential and in dire need to let the child achieve the required optimum skill. Every local borough in the UK has a set up called a Child Development Clinic run under the leadership of consultant pediatricians and supported by multidisciplinary therapists. There are thousand of such clinics under the NHS system. Due to different reasons, these Child Development Clinics, often have many children on long waiting lists, seeking assessment and diagnosis for their difficulties. Unfortunately the waiting lists often may be for months, and in some cases years just to get an appointment for assessment and establishing a diagnosis. Even after diagnosis there may not be established after plan, no provision of regular consistent treatment. It is a very sparse and broken patchy service which does not provide effective approach and treatment of the child’s problems leaving poor prognosis.
