The Family Support Program is a state-wide program aimed at relieving some
of the stress families who have children with severe disabilities face, and
enhancing their ability to care for their child at home. The program offers
information, and help, in accessing resources and funding to purchase needed
goods, or services, that are not otherwise available. This application will assist
program staff in learning more about the unique needs or your family, and in
potentially working with your family to develop a plan for meeting the needs
of your family.

The final page of this application is where you are requested to identify what the
needs of your family are to keep your child in your home. Needs are placed into
4 categories including crisis, at-risk, maintenance, and enhancement. Please
review the following definitions of the 4 categories and place the needs of your
family into the category you best feel it fits.
A. Crisis Category: Where funds would be provided to prevent an imminent
crisis situation.
B. At-Risk Category: Funds provided to families with at risk factors that
increase the likelihood of a crisis situation. At risk is also defined as an
unmet need that would result in greater impairment to the child.
C. Maintenance: Funds needed to continue the quality of care and service
level recognized as necessary for maintaining the child in the home.
D. Enhancement Category: Funding provided to enhance the quality of care
and service level for the child, but not necessary for continued success in
the home environment.
