do health visitors usually request home visits for older children?

Just curious, as I have a letter here requesting to see my child who will be 4 soon!

I wonder why this would be.

She is welcome to come, of course.

    I seem to remember having one of those before the kids started school. Could it be their pre-school check?

    I know when mine were around that age they had to have a pre school check carried out by the health visitor...maybe it is something like that.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    I thought so, but then they are twins and she has only requested to see one child.

    Yes usually before they start school - perfectly normal. Perhaps a mistake regarding just seeing one twin. Contact the surgery, I'm sure its just an oversight.

    They probably sent out 2 separate letters in 2 separate envelopes and one hasn't arrived yet. They do that with my twins all the time.
