School Age

Introduction

NLACRC is committed to assist your school-age child (age 3-14) from the initial diagnosis through their ongoing childhood development.

The Individual Program Plan (IPP) Process

The IPP process is a personalized plan created for your child with input from you and in collaboration with NLACRC.

An assigned Consumer Service Coordinator (CSC) will facilitate the discussion about your child’s strengths, development, and areas of need, and will identify services and supports to assist your child in meeting their goals.

How to Prepare for your IPP Meeting

Services and Supports

Based on the individual needs of your child and family, services and supports identified through the IPP process may be accessible through NLACRC, health insurance, local school district, or community organizations.
