Collaboration in Rural Areas: Working together to meet the needs
Providing Early Detection and Intervention services in rural areas can be riddled with challenges. With Montana being the 4th largest state yet only 44th in total population, some families find themselves surrounded by many resources while others find themselves searching for services. How do we provide consistent, balanced services to all families? This presentation will look at a part of western Montana and how collaborative partnerships work to ensure services reach families whether they are in a city or on a farm. We will walk through the process of identification to intervention and identify the important role that each member has in the collaborative team. We will discuss our partnerships with Montana Children’s Special Health Services, regional Part C providers, our non-Part C:Family Advisor Program and provide examples of other collaborative relationships such as working with county public health agencies. Participants will gain an understanding of our administrative rules and agreements as the foundations on which to build and maintain collaboration with our state and regional partners in early intervention services. We will be reviewing case studies in 8 counties and how resources are varied depending on location. We will also provide examples of how we have addressed those differences and discuss our working plans to overcome those challenges.
- Recognize or develop administrative rules and agreements within participant's own states which may facilitate collaborative partnerships.
- Define potential members of a family's early intervention team and recognize how the different roles are important to providing appropriate early intervention services.
- Generalize, evaluate and determine how the information presented can be applied to participant's own programs and practices.
