• Abnormal neuroimaging-MRI or Cranial Ultrasound (CUS) indicative of possible motor impairment
• Motor dysfunction

This might include abnormal General Movements, very low scores on standardised assessment (e.g. below 10th percentile on AIMS), poor head control after 3 months, hand asymmetry after 4 months, not able to take weight through feet after 5 months, not sitting at 9 months.

Priority will be given to infants who have not previously seen a neurologist.
