Learning & Attention
If your child has difficulty remembering information or responding to requests, your health visitor or GP may refer you to a number or different places based on what the issue may be an the age of your child.
For children under the age of five, your GP or health visitor may suggest that Portage, a pre-school home visiting service, becomes involved as they can help children with early communication and pre-school learning skills. Find out more about Portage offered by the council.
They may also suggest a nursery, preschool or playgroup with trained staff who can help your child develop their social skills. You can find out about the different playgroups and family activities available across the Wakefield district by contacting your nearest Family Hub.
