Case management is a critical component of the Families
With Special Needs Program. The primary goal of the outreach
case management services is to ensure that the basic needs
of the family are met, so parents with developmental disabilities
or other special needs can succeed in providing a safe and
nurturing home, and provide advocacy and support to other
individuals with special needs.
