Support coordinators work with the families and youth to develop a person-centered plan (PCP) to assist them in achieving goals in the areas of activities of daily living, improving the child’s ability to communicate and interact with his/her environment, and promoting inclusion and participation in the community. These services are primarily provided within the home at least one time per month and include providing a 24-hour per day crisis response.
The following services are offered:
Supports Coordination
Support Coordinators respond to the expressed needs and desires of the family and provide concrete assistance in coordinating a family support system and resources.
Community Living Support Services
CLS aides provide 1:1 assistance with the child. CLS provides necessary supports to children by teaching and training them to live as independently as they can and to promote community inclusion and participation.
Enhanced Health Care Services
Available to those that are authorized for supports coordination services including, but not limited to psychiatric services and medication reviews.
Respite Services
Provide temporary assistance to the unpaid primary caregiver in order to support the ability of the individual to live in his/her natural community home. The child must have Medicaid to be eligible for respite services.
Family Support Subsidy
The Family Support Subsidy (FSS) Program provides financial assistance to families that include a child with severe developmental disabilities. The intent is to help make it possible for children with developmental disabilities to remain with or return to their birth or adoptive families. The program provides a monthly payment of $300.36. Families are able to use this money for special expenses incurred while caring for their child.
