The Referral Process

It is our hope that together, we continue to integrate services by strengthening the diversity of our community and by enhancing the quality of life for everyone. We ourselves are life-long learners, and are dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of families.

The Chıldınü Oxford Service is accessed through the following process:

1. Chıldınü Oxford receives a referral from the Family or Community Agency with consent (this is the Authorization for Referral to Childinu Oxford below);
2. For children who are referred by the Early Learning Program, we ask that the following documentation accompanies the referral – children aged 0-6 years will have a completed Ages and Stages Questionnaire / children aged 6-12 years will have a completed Child Observation Form;
3. Chıldınü Oxford Supervisor and/or Resource Consultant will meet with the family to share information about the Chıldınü Oxford service, and discuss whether the services are appropriate at this time;
4. Authorization for Sharing of Information is completed and signed by the Parent/Guardian during the intake meeting;
5. Families will be included in the planning of desired outcomes for their child. The Resource Consultants will work collaboratively with the family and associated team members (i.e. licensed Early Learning Centres, licensed School Age Programs, licensed Home Child Care, licensed Camps, authorized Recreational Programs, and community partners) to create a family centred, strength-based Individualized Support Plan;
6. Follow-up and review of the Individualized Support Plan will occur annually, or as required;
7. Chıldınü Oxford is supportive of the family during the time of transitions. We recognize transitions can occur within the dynamics of the family, as a child travels within an early learning environment (such as moving from an infant setting, to a toddler setting, to preschool and then to School Age), as well as, when engaging in community activities.

During the current global pandemic we are asking that all referrals are submitted via email to info@childinuoxford.com or faxed to 519-290-4900
