The Family Advocacy, Counseling and Training Services Program (FACTS) of the Brain Injury Association of New York State is a free support service for individuals who sustained a brain injury and their families. BIANYS provides education, advocacy, and community support services that lead to improved outcomes for children and adults with brain injuries and their families.
Mid-West Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Center supports families and other stakeholders in understanding and navigating the special education system, for ages birth to 22. We provide technical assistance and learning opportunities for families and community members related to the Committee on Special Education and the Committee on Preschool Special Education, the Individualized Education Program, transitions along the special education continuum from Early Intervention through Post-Secondary Transition, navigating adult and community services for individuals with disabilities, and other topics related to special education.
Person Centered Services is a Health Home/Care Coordination Organization for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. At the heart of Care Coordination are connections and referrals that provide positive outcomes. Person Centered Services’ Care Coordinators work continuously with individuals, families, community providers and organizations to make sure the dots are connected between all aspects of a person’s care. Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities may be eligible for supports and services from New York State’s Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, and therefore eligible for Care Coordination.
As a Care Coordination Organization, or CCO, Prime Care Coordination provides care management services for adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. If individuals seeking care management services do not have eligibility through New York’s Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), then Prime Care’s enrollment team can assist with the eligibility process and the OPWDD Front Door process. Enrolling in Prime Care is a two-step process. Simply call 1-844-347-3168, select “Option 1” and begin enrollment. Prime Care is unique in that we offer the services of a Student and Family Educational Specialist. This person assists children in Early Intervention through the transitioning process into adult services.
At Starbridge, we partner with individuals who have disabilities and their families to achieve success in education, employment, and healthy living.
