Coordination
Our Mission:
"To
guide individuals down their desired path while
providing them with a variety of supports and
services to aid in their journey"
Navigating
the sea of services that are available to you
and your loved one with a disability can be very
challenging. A Service Coordinator can help
guide you on this journey. The Arc of
Livingston-Wyoming has a team of 16 Service
Coordinators serving individuals in Livingston
and Wyoming counties, some with nearly ten years
of experience in the field.
Service Coordinators provide assistance to
individuals and families in a variety of areas,
with some of the most common activities being:
- Obtaining and maintaining Medicaid
- Pursuing Wavier enrollment (often times
to secure Medicaid for children)
- Assistance and advocacy at Committee of
Special Education (CSE) meetings
- Linkage to summer camps (securing
funding if needed)
- Linkage to recreation services, for both
children and adults
- Applying for and maintaining benefits,
such as SSI
- Applying for Family Support Services
(Family Reimbursement, Special Sitters,
etc.)
- Applying for NY State Park Access Pass
(allowing free admission to state parks)
- Assistance in transition to adult
services (i.e. sheltered workshop, supported
work, day habilitation)
- Linkage to at-home supports (i.e.
residential habilitation, hourly respite)
- Assistance and guidance in obtaining and
maintaining housing (i.e. applying for
Section 8)
- Pursuing guardianship
- Exploring and securing residential
placement
- Pursuing funding for adaptive equipment
and environmental modifications
- Assisting individuals in exploring their
personal interests (i.e. photography, dance,
reading, etc.)
With so many programs and services available,
it is critically important to have a trained,
knowledgeable person available to listen, answer
questions, and be a guide to the right
activities and support based on individual needs
and desires. An Arc of Livingston-Wyoming
Service Coordinator can fill that role.
