Support Coordination is a service for developmentally disabled individuals and their family/guardian that have selected Spectrum Community Services as their service provider. With the assistance of a Support Coordinator, the client and family members work through a Person Centered Plan. This plan identifies the services, goals, objectives and outcomes for the individual during the coming year. The Support Coordinator links, coordinates, assists, and assesses what services the individual may need in order to achieve their goals. A formal individual plan of service is written, and a copy is given to all parties.

The Coordinator will also assist the person in obtaining and maintaining benefit coverage such as Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Home Help and Bridge Cards.
Community Living Supports

The service is designed to accommodate individuals who have developmental disabilities or mental illness in a setting that is their own. These services are provided on an hourly basis set by the person centered plan.

The individual typically is able to function on a higher level of independence, but needs supervision of services, as they are being trained to learn skills to live on their own with as limited support or assistance.
