How to make a referral
Talk with the family — share what you've noticed and give them the tip sheet.
Get parent consent on The Speech Source referral form — download it right here with the button below.
Send us the form — email thespeechsource@gmail.com with the child's name, age, and concern.
We take it from there — we contact the family within 1–2 business days and keep you in the loop with progress notes.
This screener is an educational tool to help teachers decide when a referral may be helpful. It is not a diagnosis or a substitute for an evaluation by a certified speech-language pathologist.
