Family Resource Coordinator (FRC)

Your family will be assigned a Family Resource Coordinator (FRC) to provide support and assistance as you navigate the Early Intervention (EI) system and access supports and services. Your family has choice regarding who serves as your FRC. For example, you could choose an FRC employed by CHAP or one employed by the EI provider agency.

The FRC helps your family identify priorities and find and coordinate supports to match those priorities. Your FRC works with your family to coordinate:

• The initial intake process;
• Your child’s evaluation;
• Development of an Individualized Family Services Plan (IFSP) to address your child’s and your family’s needs;
• Information about resources available in your community to support your child and family;
• Transition Plan to community programs, including preschool special education.

If you do not know how to contact your FRC, or you don't already have a FRC contact Community Health Access Program (CHAP) (external), phone: 206-284-0331, or toll-free: 1-800-756-5437.
