Are the referrals for OTs sent in by schools so that the child's needs can be assessed before an IPRC? Or do OTs come in because it is decided at the IPRC that the child needs their services? I really appreciate all the help. Thanks!

Also I am that young anymore, but do not have any retirement pension, and little money saved up. What to do? Please help.
