Individualized Family Service Plan
Once a child is determined eligible, a Family Resource Coordinator will bring the team (parents, therapists and any others the family desires) together to write a service plan. The service plan will include the goals of the family and the resource that will be used to achieve those goals.

Transitions
Six months prior to a child's third birthday, the Family Resource Coordinator will provide the family with information regarding the choices in services available once a child turns three. This will be followed by a meeting with the local school district three months prior to the third birthday. At that time a transition plan will be written detailing the plan of transition.
