Junior School - January 9, 2025

Private OT and SLP Services: Jordana Schwarz, Occupational Therapist from OT Inc. and Laura Katz, Speech-Language Pathologist from Speech Stars, provide services to students at The York School. They are our trusted clinicians who have been working collaboratively with our team for many years.

When the school determines that a student would benefit from Occupational Therapy (OT) and/or Speech-Language Pathology (SLP), a referral is made to Ontario Health at Home (OH@H) for publicly funded services. As with many government programs, wait times can vary. Therefore, there is the option to work with our providers directly to coordinate private services, which can still take place at TYS, in the interim. Please note that Jordana and Laura’s capacities fluctuate based on their caseloads, with OH@H visits needing to be prioritized. However, they work closely with the team to ensure that students’ needs are best supported in the school environment, regardless of whether they are receiving publicly funded or private services.
