Service Coordination (MSC) for Families - Getting the Most from your Child's
Program
Are you getting the most from your child's service coordination program? Do you
understand what your rights are under MSC? Do you know what to look for when
choosing a service coordinator?
MSC for Families is designed to inform families about how MSC works and to
explain their rights under the program. By being informed, you and your child's
service coordinator can become partners in advocating for and gaining access to
necessary services and supports for your child.
Family members who wish to register for this class may do so by calling Mary Jo
Hebert at 1-800-305-8817. In addition, we are also available to present
trainings on MSC at conferences, support groups, or meetings. Call today
to schedule a training for your group or organization.

Service
Coordinators and Families - Creating Partnerships that Work
(This course is
available in the Upstate Region only.)
Parents and Service Coordinators are both important players in the life of a
person with a disability. Why then does it feel sometimes like parents are
playing for one team and service coordinators are playing for another?
The ability of parents and service coordinators to develop good working
partnerships is often challenged by differences in expectations and
experiences. Participants in this program will have the opportunity to explore
common misunderstandings between service coordinators and family members and to
discuss strategies for working together more effectively. If you ever wished
that your child's service coordinator understood what it was like to "walk a
mile in your shoes" this class is for you.
Family members who wish to register for this class may do so by calling Mary Jo
Hebert at 1-800-305-8817. In addition, we are also available to present
trainings on MSC at conferences, support groups, or meetings. Call today to
schedule a training for your group or organization.
