As a general program mandate, School-Based Rehabilitation Services (SBRS) aim to deliver Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, as well as Speech-Language Pathology support (e.g., speech production, fluency, voice difficulties) to school-aged children and youth in publicly funded schools. Specifically, the SBRS program works with students, staff, and families in order to ensure that the students are able to successfully and safely attend school, access the curriculum, and participate in school activities.
Caregivers/parents of children and youth who have identified language needs can reach out to their respective school boards to discuss service options available within their respective school boards.

- General Criteria:
