Service Coordination

Service Coordinators work in partnership with individuals and families to ensure access to services; to monitor satisfaction and to work towards independence for all individuals. The service coordinator works for an individual in developing an Individualized Service Plan (ISP).  The ISP identifies individual needs, desired outcomes and future planning.
