[Dysphagia] how long of wait for swallow study for kids?

I have a question for everyone: How long do kids usually have to wait
for a swallow study, where you are?
Here, an adult can get a swallow study within 1-3 days at any hospital
in the area, as a routine thing. If it's an emergency, most hospitals
can do it within 24 hours.
But for a child, only the children's hospital will do a swallow study,
none of the others. And the wait is 1-3 weeks or more.
Is this the norm?
