Developmental Disabilities Services

Supports Coordination

A Supports Coordinator will assist individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to connect with supports they need to be as independent as possible. Supports Coordinators meet with individuals and their families to review their strength and need areas, and to develop an Individual Support Plan. They explain what different services offer and assist individuals by requesting funding for services. Supports Coordinators are a link between the individual and their family and the service providers.
