On review of the DCD toolkit and other resources, if you feel a child has a complex developmental profile that meets the criteria to be seen through Complex Developmental & Behavioural Conditions (CDBC) program, please consider submitting a referral to their program. The CDBC referral form & criteria can be found on the referrals webpage
