CDS Announces Program Expansion and is Accepting New Referrals
Greenville, SC (March 25, 2024): The Center for Developmental Services (CDS) is expanding their case management program and is now accepting new referrals for the first time in five years. Ranked as one of the top providers in the state, the CDS case management program has consistently earned high quality scores for coordinating disability services for their clients. Support from the Greenville Health Authority’s Healthy Greenville grant initiative made this opportunity possible for individuals who qualify with the SC Department of Disabilities and Special Needs.
“Case Management is a vital service for those who need it, and we are thrilled to finally accept new referrals again!”, said Brooke Schmidt, Director of Family Programs at CDS. “We hope to help more families navigate this complex system and bridge gaps with service delivery.”
Case Management involves the development of a care plan with significant input and involvement from the individual, their family members, and any other professionals in the individual’s life. The plan includes educational goals, desired skillsets, in-home support, employment resources, housing solutions, medical needs and equipment, and helping the client for years through life transitions.
If you would like to request case management services for yourself or a loved one, please call Brooke Schmidt at 864-371-6771, or email at brooke.schmidt@cdservices.org.
