- 3
Scheduling
Most referrals are scheduled within 24–72 business hours. Urgent requests may be accommodated based on availability.
- 4
Day of evaluation
Ensure the resident is available and medically appropriate, nursing staff are aware of the appointment, PO trials are ready if applicable, and the treating SLP can participate whenever possible.
