Description

​​

This course is designed to provide pediatric clinicians with the practical tips, knowledge, and resources to navigate systems of care to support families/caregivers of children who were recently identified with a delay or disability. Learners will be able to understand how to coordinate and collaborate with the various systems that support families/caregivers during this time. Specifically, learners will understand the role of pediatric clinicians in helping families/caregivers apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits and navigate the special education system, including Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Section 504 plans.  By navigating systems of care, pediatric clinicians can further support early identification and referral to needed services for children and families/caregivers.

  1. Identify and understand the different systems available to support families/caregivers who have children that were recently identified with a delay/disability
  2. Identify practical strategies for pediatric clinicians to support families/caregivers in developing and/or updating IEPs and Section 504 plans.
  3. Identify practical strategies for pediatric clinicians to support families/caregivers in applying for SSI benefits.
