The Family Care Enhancement Project (FCEP) places parent resource coordinators (PRCs) in medical clinics to provide information and support to families that have children with disabilities and special health care needs. PRCs (parents of children with disabilities who have specialized training) offer peer-to-peer support and assistance to families that have children with disabilities or special needs to navigate medical and school systems and connect them to community resources. They are located in collaborating clinics across the state.
The overall goal of the FCEP
The Family Care Enhancement Project (FCEP) is designed to:
- help families receive early intervention services;
- assist families who have children with disabilities or special health care needs to access needed community resources to keep medical appointments and improve health outcomes;
- identify other sources of funding to enhance and further support families that have children with disabilities or special healthcare needs to adulthood; and
- expand this project to other sites across the state.
This project is funded through the support of the Nebraska Early Development Network, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Division of Public Health, the University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities and the collaborating clinics.
