Service Coordination:

Service coordinators help families meet their children’s therapeutic, medical, economic, social and educational needs. We work with the schools, with Health and Welfare, with counselors, therapists, doctors, advocacy groups and philanthropic organizations. Some of our high points have included: obtaining funding to remodel bathrooms to make them accessible; assisting parents in moving their children from schools that did not meet their needs to ones that do; and getting grants to pay for expensive medical equipment not covered by Medicaid or private insurance. Service coordinators share in the day to day success of your child by arranging for services and transportation, monitoring your child’s progress toward goals and educating parents about options available in our community.
