Individual Plans
The agency authorizes and purchases individually planned services and coordinates funding sources through the County Board, the Department of Mental Health, the Medicaid Home and Community Based Waiver and other resources. Through a client’s specially developed Individual Plan, we also authorize services to be purchased from other funding sources.
Each person is supported by a knowledgeable team which includes their Support Coordinator and others important to them, such as family members, teachers or therapists.
Support Coordinators assess the need for developmental disability related services, make referrals, assist with eligibility and enrollment, coordinate services with other community agencies, and identify and authorize funding.
The team helps plan the developmental disability-related services and makes informed decisions about where to get those services.
From newborns to the elderly, service plans vary greatly, but all are designed to connect persons to needed supports.

Services listed below and the eligibility criteria are described in the agency’s Service Catalog, which is revised and updated periodically. Another array of services is offered through the Medicaid waiver. Individuals may ask their Support Coordinators for more information about the waivers and services. Where applicable, plan and service limits are established to distribute benefits and better meet the needs of the increasing number of persons we serve.
