Referral forms are available from community agencies, doctors' offices and from Grandview. Referrals for Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Medical Services require a physician's signature.
All other service requests may be initiated by parents or agency staff, and are accepted by telephone.

Grandview's Admission Committee meets weekly to review all referrals received. The family and referring physician are then notified of the recommendations for service. An appointment for assessment, if appropriate, is arranged as soon as possible.
