Service Coordination provides assistance in accessing
medical, social, educational, and other appropriate services and supports that will
help an individual achieve a quality of life and community participation acceptable
to the individual. Working with the individual and others, Service Coordinators
develop a Person Directed Plan that reflects the desires and goals of the individual.
The Service Coordinator is responsible for locating services that are identified
in the plan. Services may include support in the individual’s home or family home,
day habilitation, employment assistance, supported employment services, services
that assist the individual in accessing community activities, behavioral supports,
or other services that may be available through other agencies. Respite or relief
for the primary care giver is also available.
