How to make a referral
Please click here for general information on referring patients to The Hospital for Sick Children.
Referrals must be made by a Paediatrician on staff at SickKids or by an outside Paediatrician who is affiliated with SickKids.
Exception for families residing in downtown Toronto where a physician’s referral is accepted due to proximity.
Appropriate referrals are children of preschool age who present with speech and language delay (receptive and expressive language skills), articulation and phonology.
At 6 years of age the child will be redirected to the school board as per Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education guidelines.
