What is Service Navigation?
Service Navigation works together in collaboration with families and professionals by supporting the referral process to access Grandview Kids services. Our team connects clients and families with programs and services at Grandview Kids, as well as resources in the community. Eligibility for services is identified based on an established set of criteria.
Who is eligible for Service Navigation?
Any family living in the Durham Region that is looking for information about Grandview Kids’ services, is interested in initiating a referral for therapeutic support, or is inquiring about eligibility criteria is encouraged to call Service Navigation. Service Navigation offers a “No Closed Door” policy; our team will do our best to connect families with appropriate services to meet their child’s needs. See the referral process below for details.
What to expect
The Service Navigation Team collects client information based on demographics, developmental milestones, and parent report through telephone intake interviews.
