What helps in a referral

Presenting concerns and duration, any diagnoses or assessments to date, current supports (OT, speech, paediatrician), school context, and the MHTP statement with number of sessions. I send a brief report after the initial sessions and at the six-session review, and I'm always happy to talk by phone.
