Case Management Services for Children

UCP of Maine offers Case Management Services to children ages birth through age twenty who have a diagnosis of mental retardation, pervasive developmental disorder/autism or who are receiving Early Intervention Services. Case Managers assist families in gaining access to and making effective use of services and resources available to their child. Such services include educational, medical, psychological, and community-based resources.

Parents can refer themselves for Case Management Services by calling UCP at 207-941-2952. Doctors, educators and providers can also refer children for services. A Case Manager will respond to the referral with a phone call to set up an initial intake either in the home, at UCP or a site that is convenient for the family.

The Case Manager coordinates a team meeting with members from school, other service providers and the family. The team develops an individual service plan (ISP) which states short and long term goals and objectives for the child.

The Case Manager meets with family on a regular basis. The family determines the extent to which the Case Manager assists them in locating new services and resources and in removing barriers which may be preventing the child from reaching the goals and objectives stated in the ISP.

Case Management Services are provided in Penobscot, Piscataquis, northern Waldo and Hancock Counties. Case Management Services for children are Medicaid reimbursable.

For more information about Case Management Services for Children, please contact UCP at (207) 941-2952 or send an e-mail.
