The Details

Service providers work together so that the best service is received in all areas of the person’s life. Collaboration among service providers ensures people are given the best overall service. The collaboration may include services such as program coordination, home life, health and wellness, and day service. Teams meet semi-annually to evaluate progression and are in regular communication with one another.
