CHILDREN’S CASE MANAGEMENT - REFERRAL FORM

    In order to register with Service Coordination Support (SCS) for people with developmental disabilities the intake worker will need to review supporting documentation to confirm your (the applicant’s) eligibility. As a central point of access, we provide information and facilitate access to services and supports for children and youth (0 to 18) with a Developmental Disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Ottawa area. In order for us to proceed with the registration, we require a psychological assessment (or any other document) confirming the diagnosis of a Developmental Disability and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder. As well, we require consent to allow us to collect, use or disclose information for the purpose of creating and maintaining your service record.
