Family Support Services
The Family Service Department is comprised of Social Workers,
Early Intervention Service Coordinators and OMRDD Medicaid Service Coordinators. Our primary
goal is to empower the parents to be their child's own best
advocate.
Social Workers provide individualized support and services for
families of children birth to five as identified by the child's IFSP
(birth - 3) or IEP (3 - 5).
