Child Service Coordination /CSC

Raising a child can be difficult. Raising a child with special needs may require extra help from family, friends, and professionals. You may need extra help if you answer "yes" to any of the following questions:

  • Are you worried about your child's health or development?
  • Do you need financial help in meeting your child's needs for medical care?
  • Could you and your family use support and guidance?
  • Has your doctor or nurse told you that your child has a condition that may affect health or development?

Child Service Coordination is here to help your child get the best care possible during the first years of life. The CSC Program identifies infants and children at high risk for developmental delays. CSC also assures that children receive routine medical care and immunizations, as well as, developmental screenings. CSC refers parents to appropriate services and focuses on Family Care coordination.

Who is eligible?

Children from birth to three years old who are at risk for developmental delay/disability, serious illness, or social-emotional problems. Children from birth to five years old who have a diagnosed developmental delay/disability, serious illness, or social-emotional problems.

Is there a fee?

No. There is no financial criteria for this program. Enrollment is based on the need of the child and the family.

How do we get referrals?

We accept referrals from families, health care providers, early intervention centers, sickle cell programs, Headstart, day cares, schools, social workers, and others with a significant concern about a child's risk of developmental delay/disability.

What services will my Family receive?

The Child Service Coordinator will visit and conduct a needs assessment. Appointments will be made for routine medical care, immunizations, and special medical clinics. Referrals, as needed, will be made to home health nursing, early childhood intervention programs, nutrition, housing, day care, transportation, parent support services, and financial services, to name a few. Developmental screenings at age appropriate intervals will be provided through specialists at the Developmental Evaluation Centers.

As a Parent, How Can I Help My Child?

By making sure that your child has routine medical care and up-to-date immunizations. Keep all scheduled appointments. Learn more about preconceptional health, which means being healthy before you become pregnant. If you are pregnant, get early and regular prenatal care.
