Services Coordinator helps families of infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities access and navigate the early intervention system, ensuring they receive necessary services and support.

• Service coordinators act as advocates for families, helping them understand their rights, navigate the system, and access available resources.
• They assist in coordinating assessments and evaluations to determine a child's needs, and participate in developing the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) that outlines the services the family will receive.
• They connect families with appropriate early intervention services and providers, ensuring timely and effective delivery of services as outlined in the IFSP.
• Service coordinators maintain open communication with families, service providers, and other professionals involved in the child's care, fostering a collaborative approach.
• As children approach age 3, service coordinators help families plan for transitions to preschool or other relevant programs and services.
• They monitor the implementation of the IFSP, ensuring that services are being delivered as planned and that the family's needs are being met.
