OUR PROCESS

Initial Contact and Screening

Our team will coordinate care amongst current providers, including the individual’s Support Coordinator or Case Manager to schedule initial screening, assessments, and interim/planning meetings.

Plan for Supports

Our clinical team develops and introduces a plan for supports which outlines and describes the specific supports to be provided based on the wants, needs and preferences of the individual.

Authorization and Service Initiation

We will work closely with the client and families to identify a schedule and routine. Upon approval of services, we will continue to coordinate care amongst current providers and implement supports based on the individual‘s plan for supports.
