Access
Service Access

Healthcare providers should consult the Alberta Referral Directory for service referral information.

Parents can self-refer. Healthcare providers and services, agencies, and public health nurses can refer but need permission from family first.


Wait Times

Once the referral is received, a letter is sent to the family telling them how long the wait will be. The wait list is reviewed every week. Priorities are decided by client needs. Families are encouraged to contact the Early Intervention Program if they need immediate help.
