OI Student Referral

Directions for new referrals to Orthopedic Impairment for AT/AAC consulation and/or equipment loans.

1. Fill out the CRIS Student Referral Form and print. 

2. Gather all required documents associated with the services being requested. For example, to enroll a student for OI services and/or equipment, a copy of the current OI eligibility statement is required. If an OI eligibility for a student is pending, we advise you to wait until eligibility is established to refer to CRIS. We are unable to enroll students who are referred without a copy of the OI eligibility statement.

3. Obtain the signature of the special education director (or designee) in your district.

4. Email, fax or mail the completed referral and attached documents

AT/AAC Services and Devices for Students who do not have an OI eligibility

Our AT/AAC consultative services are limited to students with an OI eligibility.

Likewise, an OI eligibility is generally required for device loans and trials. However, subject to device availability, we may be able to provide a short term trial for a student with a different regional eligibility. A student referral and copy of the student's current regional eligibility statement will be required.
