What are the pediatric support options for NY families with special needs kids? It’s a question asked by many – and expert carers are looking to make sure it’s easy to find answers.
NY families with special needs children are looking for any open avenue that can provide skilled care and therapy for their kids. Funding continues to ensure that such options are, indeed, available - but do all these families know about them? Care providers want to make sure that everyone in need of pediatric services is aware of what’s within reach. And in an open gesture of support, they’re explaining that many of these options are fully funded… and fully accessible.
We could be seeing big changes afoot for the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities and other support programs. That means your family, too, could benefit. Don’t miss out on opportunities that could help your child immeasurably. You can’t apply for what you aren't aware of, after all.
Budgetary increases in the new fiscal year look set to accelerate the flow of developmental and care services for eligible New Yorkers. Select care providers are ready to offer such assistance as part of funded pediatric care plans; so it’s well worth checking to see if you qualify.
At this moment in time, the OPWDD’s system provides almost 140,000 individuals with Medicaid-covered and State-managed care. Why shouldn't you be one of them? New investments will put the program in an even better position to accommodate both newcomers and those whose support needs continue to change, experts say.
What does this mean for you? Well, it could mean a great deal if you’re looking for professionals who can care for your children in a safe, familiar environment - namely, your own home.
In-home care is a compelling alternative to hospital or clinic care, providers say. Here’s why…
