The Arc currently employs twelve Independent Support
Coordinators (ISCs) who support, advocate for and work with 331 individuals with intellectual
disabilities in fulfilling their needs and personal
goals. Each ISC has a caseload of 26-30 people, and makes visits to each at least once
a month. ISCs assist individuals in gaining access to needed waiver and other state
plan services.
They also assist in obtaining funds for needed medical, social, and educational services
from various funding sources. The typical assistance an ISC provides involves helping
people plan
for their goals, finding cost effective services to help people meet their needs, and
submitting requests for funding to ensure people get the things they need to live
successfully in the
community. Additional roles include advocacy, monitoring, meeting facilitation, service
coordination, conflict resolution, and filing appeals. ISCs work in conjunction with
family and other providers
supporting an individual to ensure that the participant receives needed services, equipment,
and odifications while maintaining programmatic eligibility and meeting his or her own
personal goals.
