According to federal law, infants and toddlers referred for services must be evaluated within 45 days, be given an Individualized Service Plan, and start therapy within a month. But that doesn’t always happen, according to a recent report from the New York Daily News. Additionally, about half of all children who are evaluated do not get all the pediatric services to which they are entitled.

Navigating the OPWDD can be challenging. But Home Care Advisory Group can help families understand and access the resources they need to support the unique challenges of kids with developmental disabilities. The group’s experts can help families secure care and therapies to increase the quality of life for loved ones with special needs.

To be eligible for OPWDD services, residents must be diagnosed with a qualifying developmental disability before they turn 22 years old. To obtain services, OPWDD requires in-depth assessments, including medical evaluations, interviews, and thorough documentation of the disability. Home Care Advisory Group can help families complete this process, from assessment to implementation of their Individualized Service Plans, connection with OPWDD service coordinators, and more.

Home Care Advisory Group helps individuals with disabilities like autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and other disorders affecting brain function and development. Many of these disabilities are identified in early childhood, and often need additional support to perform activities of daily living, participate in community life, and reach their full potential. OPWDD helps these individuals with residential services, job training, health care needs, and more.
