SBRS Information for School Teams


ErinoakKids will assign each of our school board partners a team of therapists that may include an Occupational Therapist (OT), Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA), Physiotherapist (PT), Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and Speech & Language Therapy Assistant (SLTA).   

OT/PT services include consultation for safety, mobility, access and participation in school activities. Students with complex physical needs will have one therapy team for home, school and community. Home and centre-based needs for students with physical needs will be addressed by the same OT/PT supporting the student at school.  

SLP services include support for some speech difficulties. This includes phonology, motor speech, speech fluency/stuttering, voice/resonance and articulation. 



How to Refer a Student to SBRS

If a student is eligible for service, as per the referral process, complete the online SBRS ErinoakKids referral form, which you can access through the Referral Form link near the top of theIntake Services page. 

  •  Each school board has a unique password. Please connect with your Special Education Resources Department to obtain the password for your board.

  • The online referral form contains a reference with the online id number for your records. You do not need to call our intake team to confirm receipt of a referral. 

  • Each school will receive a list of waitlist/ active SBRS students as well as a contact list for all therapists assigned to their school at set points during the school year. 

Common Questions 

Who is eligible for SBRS?
Connect with your Special Education Resources Department and SBRS clinicians to discuss student eligibility.
When will my student receive services?
Each referral is reviewed by the SBRS team and will be prioritized for service based on safety and access needs in the school. Students will be placed on the waiting list in the order that the referral was received. Waiting lists vary based on the type of service that is needed. Every effort will be made to have your student seen as quickly as possible.
