How To Refer A Child
Anyone with concerns about a child may refer him or her to First Connections, and a service coordinator will contact the parent(s) to discuss concerns, answer questions, and assist the family in obtaining developmental evaluations to determine the child’s current level of functioning, strengths and needs.
Referrals should be accompanied by an Rx for a developmental evaluation to determine eligibility along with an Rx for any specialized evaluations the physician deems necessary.
