Referral process for speech-language therapy services

A referral document required is a signed letter from the referring SLP, on the organization’s letterhead, that states:

• client’s name, date of birth and contact phone number
• client is being referred to the Harmonize for Speech, Hearing and Language Clinic at Georgian College for speech-language services
• copy of the formal assessment is enclosed and the date of the assessment
  • formal assessment must include goals for intervention ranked in order of priority
  • this will allow the clinic’s SLP to develop a therapy plan that CDA students can implement with the client
  • if the assessment is older than five years of age, then please include a brief summary of what has been the current speech/language focus for the client
  • referral letter and speech-language assessment can be faxed to the clinic by the referring SLP

OR

• the client or client’s parent/guardian can fax/drop off the required documents to the clinic prior to the first appointment

All of our clinic services are provided by graduates and students in Georgian College’s Communicative Disorders Assistant program while being supervised by our clinic’s speech-language pathologist.

Please note that the clinic reserves the right to determine if a client is appropriate for the competency level of our CDA students and staff.
