Child Service Coordination

What is the Child Service Coordination Program?

The Child Service Coordination Program (CSCP) is a free and voluntary program that helps families like yours find and use community services.  The program goals are:

• to connect your family with services for children and families
• to support your children in reaching their developmental potential
• to help ensure that children are raised in healthy, safe, and nurturing environments.

Child Service Coordinators (CSCs) can help with finding medical care, transportation, childcare and /or financial aid.  They can also provide you with information about a wide variety of family oriented resources.  The CSC will: 

• discuss family strengths and concerns through home visits, telephone calls and other personal contacts
• identify programs, services, and resources that meet your family’s needs
• serve as a link between you and your child’s doctor or nurse
• identify ways you can strengthen parent-child relationships
• introduce you to parent support programs when available
• offer encouragement and support.

If you have children from birth to age five who qualify for the program, your CSC will work with you in meeting your family’s needs.

Who is eligible?

Children birth to age three who are at risk for developmental delay or disability, long term illness and/or social, emotional disorders and children ages three to five who have been diagnosed with developmental delay or disability, long term illness and/or social, emotional disorder may be eligible for the program.
