Coordinated Service Planning

The objective of Coordinated Service Planning is to provide children and youth (up to 18 years of age) with multiple and/or complex special needs and their families with a seamless and family-centered service experience.

The objective of Coordinated Service Planning is to provide children and youth (up to 18 years of age) with multiple and/or complex special needs and their families with a seamless and family-centered service experience.

As a result of Coordinated Service Planning, families, and children/youth with multiple and/or complex special needs will:

  • Have a clear point of contact for Coordinated Service Planning (their Service Planning Coordinator) and know who is accountable for developing and monitoring their child/youth’s Coordinated Service Plan
  • Not have to repeat their stories and goals to multiple providers
  • Have a single Coordinated Service Plan that is responsive to their child/youth’s goals, strengths, and needs
  • Experience a family-centered process that recognizes that each family is unique, that the family is the constant in the child/youth’s life, and that they have expertise on their child/youth’s abilities and needs
  • Know that providers will be communicating about the needs and goals of their child/youth and will be working toward a set of common goals identified in the plan

Coordinated Service Planning goes beyond regular inter-professional communication and collaboration that takes place when providers work together to ensure they are integrating practice and service delivery for children, youth, and families. It is a support in and of itself that is intended to decrease family stress by providing families with a formal voice in the service planning process and by assisting families in navigating and coordinating services for their child/youth.

Support Provided Through Service Planning Coordination

  • You are engaged with multiple providers and various goals and suggestions
  • Your child with special needs has ongoing severe physical and/or intellectual impairment needs that require the use of technology
