Family Resource Services

Family Resource Services extends case management support to families of school-age children and youth (up to 18 years of age) who have a diagnosed developmental (IQ below 70) and/or a physical disability. The family, with support from a Family Resource Worker (FRW), develops goals in the creation of an Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP). Through virtual and/or in-office case conferencing and/or home visits, the FRW will support the family in accessing community resources to implement the IFSP and achieve their identified goals.
