PASS: Personal Assistance Services & Support

yellow-swoosh

You work hard to support your child.  You see your child’s strengths. Yet, you also know where your child may struggle.

If you have a child with challenges brought on by trauma, a disability or mental health concerns, you stretch to do your best to provide needed guidance and support.

You know that lots of practice and consistency will help your child learn new skills. Our PASS services offer support.

You’ll select and supervise a staff person who will help your child progress. Throughout, you’ll be in charge of the process, with your PASS team as your resource.   

Your child will receive support to strengthen skills in important areas:

  • Accomplishing activities of daily life
  • Keeping safe & making good decisions 
  • Learning social roles & skills 

There is no out-of-pocket cost to families. 

What to expect:

  • You’ll design a plan for your child with the support of your team.
  • You’ll select your child’s staff. We can assist with recruitment.
  • You might consult with speech, occupational or physical therapists.
  • The PASS coordinator will be available to assist with any day-to-day issues.
  • A clinical consultant will meet with you regularly to provide guidance.  

Who is eligible:

  • For children and youth 0-21 years of age with developmental, behavioral or mental health needs who have Medicaid or Katie Beckett.

PASS Coordinator: Shelley Milligan at 401-293-5790 ext. 399 or email Shelley
