Family Needs
 

1. Family Supports and Services

 
 100% 
We are in the process of setting up a network of services and supports for families currently outside of regular Medicaid-funded Developmental Disability Services. To do this meaningfully we will need your input on what you consider to be important to you and your family at this time. We are assuming that short-term respite will be a high need. Consequently, we are developing a drop-in center concept, that would be available Fridays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Additionally, we hope to set up "navigation services" for any issues families might have related to Developmental Disabilities services, medical needs, and benefits.

While we can not provide free services, nor can we do a full spectrum of life-services, it is our hope to be able to provide some relief to some families at a modest cost.

So, please take a few minutes to complete the following survey and if you know of other families and individuals please direct them here. Thank you.
