Every child who receives Early Intervention automatically is provided a Service Coordinator. The Service Coordinator is similar to a Case Manager and plays a vital role in establishing the child and family with community supports and resources as needed. While there has recently been an increase in reimbursement rates, it is not enough to cover the need currently exhibited through VA. Service Coordinators are highly involved, assist families with applications and connections with community agencies (medicaid, WIC, foodstamps, waiver services, clinic services, hospitals, etc). For this coordinated care, we are recommending that Early Intervention Service Coordination rates be increased to match ID/DD services that are currently associated with Community Services Board.
