What families can expect
1st week
- Your Coordinator will get in touch with you and have a meeting to talk about the program and sign paperwork so that your child can be enrolled.
- Your Coordinator will most likely need to call other people working with your child to find out how he/she is doing. You must sign a form for this to happen. Information about your family will be kept confidential, unless you give permission to speak to others about your child’s progress.
- You and your Coordinator will talk about teams and begin to form your child’s team.
- Your Coordinator will work with you to plan for emergencies or very stressful times. This plan, called a “crisis plan” will be updated as needed, but at least every 6 months. You should have a copy of this plan.
2nd to 4th week and later
- Your Coordinator will get in touch with you and your child at least one time each week. They will also keep in touch with other team members.
- Your team will meet during the first month and will meet at least one time each month after that.
- During the first month, your Coordinator will work with you to figure out what is going well, what your child’s strengths are and what help is needed. A plan of care will be completed during the first month and will be reviewed every 3 months and changed, as needed.
- Your child will likely be in CCF less than 18 months, but if the team believes that it needs to be longer, your coordinator can schedule a meeting with program leaders to talk about why your child needs more time in the program.
- Please contact your Coordinator or anyone else in the program if there are questions or issues that come up.
