A clearer path to the appropriate level of care.
A dedicated referral pathway for hospitals, crisis programs, pediatricians, schools, therapists, county systems, and community providers.
Start with the care need
Identify whether the referral is for outpatient psychiatry/therapy, pediatric Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), adult IOP, autism/neurodevelopmental services, or another current offering. Pediatric PHP and IOP are designed for children ages 5–13. Confirm age and service eligibility for other programs directly with ROW.
Referral fit and clinical review
Share the presenting psychiatric or behavioral/developmental concerns, functional impact, treatment history, and requested level of care. ROW reviews referrals individually; final program fit, admission, and availability require clinical and access review.
Neurodevelopmental information matters
When referring an autistic or neurodivergent child for psychiatric treatment, include relevant communication supports, sensory needs, developmental considerations, regulation strategies, and existing providers. The psychiatric condition drives PHP/IOP need; the child’s neurodevelopmental profile helps inform care delivery. ROW’s continuum includes neurodiversity-affirming psychiatric PHP/IOP with interdisciplinary autism and behavioral expertise.
Prepare referral information
Relevant information includes the patient’s age, presenting concerns, current providers, requested service and location, caregiver contact, insurance details, and pertinent clinical documentation.

Coordinate the transition
ROW’s continuum emphasizes communication across care settings, caregiver involvement where appropriate, and thoughtful transition planning. Discuss location availability and access requirements before arranging a transfer or making scheduling commitments.
