Services

Your SLP

Your child’s current primary SLP plays a crucial role in this application process. They must complete an online application about your child and upload a written speech-language evaluation report or provide a therapy summary report for your child. When you provide your SLP’s information below, they will automatically receive an email to that listed address with their instructions and application link. You are responsible for making sure that your SLP is aware of this process and to encourage them to complete their portion by the deadline in order for your application to be complete and reviewed.

By completing this portion, you are giving permission and consent for your child's primary SLP to provide relevant information about your child in their application portion. If your SLP or their employer require a copy of written consent, they may ask you to sign a copy of their SLP application for their records.

I have notified my SLP to expect this email and application. (If you check "no," you must notify your SLP immediately of their involvement in your application.)
