Values and Approach

Our Team
A service coordinator for children with special needs plays a pivotal role in ensuring that these children and their families receive comprehensive support and resources tailored to their unique challenges.
They act as a bridge between families, healthcare providers, educators, and community services, coordinating care and advocating for the child’s best interests.
Their responsibilities include assessing the child’s needs, developing individualized service plans, and monitoring progress. They work tirelessly to empower families with knowledge and access to services that promote the child’s development and well-being.
In essence, a service coordinator is a dedicated advocate, a guide through complex systems, and a steadfast ally in the journey of nurturing a child with special needs to reach their full potential.

QUICK LINKS
The Early Intevention Program (EIP) is a public program funded by The New York State and county governments (NYC Department of Mental Health) for children under the age of three who are either suspected of having or at risk for developmental delays or disabilities. Potentially eligible children must be referred to the county program to receive EIP services: New York City – 311. All EIP services are provided at no cost to parents. Health Insurance may be used for approved services. A child’s eligibility for the program can be determined only by state-approved evaluators under contract and all services must be authorized by the county. If a child is found eligible for the EIP, all needed early intervention services are identified in collaboration with the parent and must be authorized by the municipality. The municipality will arrange for service providers, considering the individual needs of the child and family, to deliver services authorized by the municipality. When Early Intervention services are delivered in child care settings or community locations that require a fee, the parent is responsible for paying any associated costs with such access to child care or community locations. Intake Connect Child Sercice is approved by New York State and has a contract with New York City to provide early intervention services.
