“Case management services are provided for individuals with developmental challenges, autism spectrum disorders and mental health diagnosis from birth to age twenty-one. We have four full-time case managers who each carry a caseload of about 25 children. This number can fluctuate depending on the needs of the families. Case managers are available to attend meetings with families, advocate for them, go to doctor appointments with them, help them fill out forms or any other tasks that they may need assistance with. Their jobs are made more challenging because there are very few services available for families and children. Generally a child is put on a waitlist of some kind regardless of what the need is. This is frustrating for families and case managers, but they do their best to access whatever services are available.”
