Case managers assist children and their families in finding medical, psychiatric, social, educational, and other services which are needed for the child to thrive in the community. This would include help with referrals to other services, transportation to appointments, and assistance in working with school staff, physicians, and other agencies. Case managers work with children with serious emotional disturbances. They help families access outpatient treatment, intensive in-home treatment, and ongoing psychiatric treatment and medication. Case managers also assist children with mental retardation to gain access to the Mental Retardation Waiver, which can provide personal assistance, respite, assistive technology and other services. Case managers also work with a child's IEP team in the schools.
