Plexus- A Network of FASD Supports and Services in our Community: Client Referral Form
Please complete this form to make a referral to Sunbeam Developmental Resource Centre. We offer clinical assessment, consultation and support services to individuals who have a developmental disability and/or an autism spectrum disorder, and to their family and support agencies. There is no fee for the individual user.
Eligibility:
The services of Sunbeam Developmental Resource Centre team are available to individuals of any age who have a developmental disability and/or an autism spectrum disorder.
A referral in the child/youth name can be made by the individual or their legal guardian. SDRC will also accept referrals from extended family members, family physician, or any agency acting on the individual’s/family’s behalf as long as permission to do so has been provided by the individual or their guardian.
The consent of individuals 16 years of age or older who are able to understand the implications of assessment/treatment is required when facilitating a referral on their behalf.
If you have concerns or questions about our agency’s policies regarding eligibility for children, under 18 years of age, please contact our Clinical Intake Worker. Eligibility for adults, 18 years or older, is determined by Developmental Services Ontario.
What Happens Next?
After receiving a completed referral form in the child/youth name and the required supporting documentation verifying eligibility for SDRC services, you will receive a Referral Confirmation letter by mail or email within 2 to 4 weeks. This will be followed by contact from an Intake worker to arrange an initial Intake Appointment. The wait for an appointment can vary depending on referral volumes and may take up to 4-6 months.
If you have not received a Referral Confirmation letter from us after 4 weeks, please call 519-741-1121, so that we can avoid any unnecessary delays.
