PARENT SERVICES
At
Rising Stars, we are all about helping your
children when early intervention issues
arise.
We have a very talented team of therapists whose
skills we match to your children’s specific
developmental therapy needs, so that your children
receive the best care possible.
The
first step in our process is for you to review
and complete our comprehensive Developmental
Checklist, which allows us to focus on the
specific developmental needs of each child.
Once we receive your completed checklist (by
email, fax, or regular mail), we will contact
you as soon as possible to discuss the findings
brought out by your answers.
If
appropriate, a referral will be made to the
office of the Rockland County Early Intervention
Program. Once it is determined that your child
qualifies for EI, we then assign dedicated therapists,
and apply our excellent service coordination
to work one on one with you and your child.
They will address the goals set out by the Individualized
Family Service Plan in response to your child’s
specific needs.
Rising
Stars Service Coordination
Rising
Stars offers service coordination to all of
the families that it services. Parents have
the options to choose
an ongoing service coordinator from Rising Stars
once it has been determined that their child
qualifies for Early Intervention services.
We, at Rising Stars have hired a service coordinator
who is a professionally trained, warm, responsible
person. The coordinator communicates with parents
on a regular basis to ensure that delivery of
services is effective to address the goals set
for the child. She helps families identify and
prioritize concerns, assists parents in developing
plans and strategies to meet the needs of their
children and family units, and strengthen families’
competencies and sense of control over life
events.
Communication
may occur through phone contacts or through
home visits, depending on the individual needs
of the family. The service coordinator is responsible
for monitoring the delivery of early intervention
services in accordance with the plan. She ensures
communication, collaboration, and coordination
among service providers, including the educators
and therapists, to eligible children and their
families.
