Developmental Pathways, Family Support

Family Support is a state funded program to provide individualized supports to families who are caring for a family member with developmental disabilities/delays, including connecting them with resources and providing limited financial help. Because the State has limited funding, priority is given to families who meet the “most in need” criteria. Your Intake Coordinator may be able to suggest alternative community resources, and you may be contacted once a year to review your resource needs and exchange current contact information.

 

Pathways Family Support Coordinators provide ongoing supportive personal contact with families and facilitate connections with other families and other community agencies and resources. In partnership with families, Coordinators assist with developing the Family Support Plan by assessing and prioritizing the childs’ and families’ unmet needs in areas such as assistive technology and home or vehicle modification, respite care, and professional, medical or dental services. Coordinators also assist the family with planning during times of transition to other school programs and to prepare for additional services individuals may be eligible for in the future.
