Service and Support

The Service and Support Administration Division provides Service Coordination services once a person has been determined to be in need of this support. The Service Coordinator will work with the person and/or family to assure various services and supports are available and responsive to the preference and needs of the persons served.

Service Coordinators are the primary point of coordination, which includes:

• Coordinating services and connecting people to individualized supports, whether they are provided by Warren County Board of Development Disabilities or a private service provider.
• Coordinating needs assessments to find out what is important to the person and what is working and not working in her/her life.
• Developing an Individual Service Plan using person-centered planning that outlines what is important and connects the person to the provider of choice.
• Connecting people to the community resources they need to be successful.
• Exploring available funding resources and developing a budget for the services based on the person's assessed needs and the preferred way for meeting those needs to purchase the approved services in the Individual Service Plan.
• Providing ongoing monitoring to ensure that services and supports are being delivered as outlined in the Individual Service Plan and to the benefit and satisfaction of the person.
• Assist the individual to select a qualified service provider.
• Crisis Intervention to provide necesary emergency services to eligible people and their families on a 24-hour basis.
