Description of Work

This is professional-level work within the early intervention branch at the local Children's Developmental Services Agencies (CDSAs). The CDSA is the lead agency for the NC Infant Toddler Program. Employees providing in-home or center-based consultation services are responsible for utilizing a variety of formalized assessment tools for the child and/or other family members and coordinating with other disciplines and agencies to ensure a comprehensive assessment; reviewing family resources, relationships, and attitudes, and making independent clinical judgments regarding appropriate services to be provided to the client and family. Employees establish both short and long-range client and family-centered goals and develop, negotiate, implement, monitor, and adjust individualized family service plans (IFSPs) and coordinate specialized services such as physical, occupational, psychological, and speech therapies, as needed and based on family choice. Employees provide effective utilization of program services, enablement, advocacy, and provide family support; teach parents/care providers in activities and skills which enhance the development of the child. Employees utilize community resources and serve as a program consultant/liaison within the community. Tasks are independently completed with review and clinical supervision, and guidance is available on an as-needed basis. Employees must follow program objectives, policies, and procedures. Employees are involved in coordinating interdisciplinary services for families' needs. Employees develop, negotiate, and ensure procedural safeguards. Employees monitor and supervise in-home service provided by contracted and enrolled service providers. Employees may also be called upon to provide consultation to community agencies, organizations, and technical guidance to staff. The population served includes infants, toddlers, or preschoolers (children ages 0-3) with or at risk for developmental delays, disabilities, or atypical development in the case of center or home-based early intervention programs. For such service settings, experience may also be with families of such children, other care providers, or non-handicapped children of this age, or with child mental health-related programs. In other service settings, such as CAP-DD, components, or itinerant teams, experience may be with adults with developmental disabilities or mental illness.
