You will get the results in the mail.
The form is called the Written Notice of Eligibility. Then you will meet with your coordinator.
Eligibility Meeting:
-
Your intake coordinator will schedule an eligibility meeting to talk about the evaluation results.
-
Your intake coordinator will be there, along with the evaluator.
-
You can invite others to support you if you'd like.
If you qualify for services:
-
You will talk about the services they think your child needs based on the evaluation.
-
You will choose a Family Support Coordinator (FSC) from the list. This will be the person who will help you with everything from now on.
-
You will schedule an IFSP meeting to create the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).
-
Sometimes, the eligibility and IFSP meetings will be at the same time. This may happen if it was very clear at intake that your child would qualify.
If you don't qualify:
-
Your intake coordinator will help you find other resources and supports.
-
If you don't agree with the decision, you can ask for another evaluation. Talk to your intake coordinator about your options.
