Disabilities Support Coordination, Child and Adolescent

Richmond Behavioral Health Authority's Child and Adolescent Developmental Disabilities (DD) Program develops and implements a person-centered plan focused on achieving a good life for children and adolescents ages three through 22 years.  Through this planning process, the child and their family take steps towards:

• Identifying needed supports to achieve a good life;
• Linking to resources within the community that meet these needs;
• Collaborating with a wide variety of professionals, programs, and agencies in the community to advocate and deliver supports;
• Promoting participation within the community;
• Monitoring the child or adolescent's changing needs and ensuring they continue to receive the most appropriate services.

Resources the program provides include:

• Afterschool and summer camp funding;
• Transportation;
• Monitoring and coordinating the Developmental Disabilities (DD) Waiver;
• Assistance accessing and maintaining educational services;
• Psychiatric and psychological services.
