Service Coordination for the Developmentally Disabled
Service Coordination provides case management services for individuals from birth through the adult lifespan. Since its inception in 1996, the need for Service Coordination has grown, and Center for Human Services proudly provides this service to more than 5,700 people and families throughout Missouri.
The system may be complex to navigate, but working with a Service Coordinator is not. Service Coordination is a far-reaching and popular service that is free to you. For those who qualify, a Service Coordinator meets with you to establish a plan. With a solid plan in place, they direct the resources to turn the plan into action.
