Community Partnerships Community Care Access Centres (CCAC) Moderate-severe articulation delays Discharged when delays deemed to be mild-moderate Streamlining/transition of services Private SLPs and other outside agencies Direct referral of OCDSB students with mild-moderate articulation delays Elimination of wait list for OCDSB students with mild-moderate articulation delays

Referral Process Consultation with community agencies and private practice professional group Liaison with CASLPO Development of referral form to be submitted by all referring clinicians (electronic and fax submissions) PAT-P referral form Development of parent registration form Parent Registration Form Website creation - link within the OCDSB website Design and distribution of PAT-P pamphlet Annual presentation to Learning Support Teachers and Consultants, as well as Principals and Superintendents

Referral Process Flowchart Screen Child Child has mild articulation difficulties and is stimulable on sound errors Child has moderate-severe articulation errors phonological processes, lateralizes all sibilants, intelligibility is compromised Eligible for the PAT-P : Provide feedback to parents Provide feedback to parents Complete electronic PAT-P referral form Obtain signed release/exchange authorization form Inform parents of PAT-P; options for session dates/online video Fax referral to CCAC If NOT interested If interested File referral form in OSR and laserfiche Email registration form & packages to parents and referral form to Coordinator File referral form in OSR and laserfiche

What Happens Next? Following the screening and feedback, parents are provided with the option of attending a PAT-P workshop in person, accessing an online video presentation of the PAT-P, or both. Electronic copies of the sound packages individualized to their child’s articulation errors are emailed to the parents by the referring SLP. Families who are not able to print the packages are given paper versions. Hard copies are also available at the workshop.

Hard to Serve Families Some parents are unable to attend the workshop for a variety of reasons so consequently, a video (DVD) presentation was developed. Since that time, the video presentation has been posted on the OCDSB website to provide access worldwide. Parent Articulation Training Program Webpage
