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.
