Finding Your Independent Service Coordinator
The first step in seeking services for your IDD loved one in Illinois is to identify your Independent Service Coordinator agency (ISC). Your ISC will help explain each step of the process to find assistance that best meets your family member's needs. This includes:
First Steps
- Assigning you an individual service coordinator who specializes in navigating the funding and services process and to aid in screenings required
- Walking you through the pre-admission screening (PAS) process
- Helping you qualify for the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver through Medicaid
- Securing a placement on the PUNS list (Prioritization for Urgency of Need for Services)
- And much more.
