Family and Community Support Services

Unlike other agencies offering care coordination support or resource and referral services, The Arc does not restrict our service population with regard to age, diagnosis, or income level.

Our Family & Community Support Services

(FCSS) team supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families by helping them understand, access, and coordinate the services they need, at any age and every stage of life. We work with families of children, teens, and adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), special health care needs, or chronic conditions like cystic fibrosis. Whether you’re facing a new diagnosis, planning for adulthood, or managing day-to-day challenges, we’re here to help.

What We Do:

    • Build personalized care plans
    • Provide expert resource navigation and referrals
    • Advocate for your loved one’s needs
    • Offer support during transitions, such as starting school, graduating, or seeking housing or employment
    • Coordinate with schools, doctors, social services, and other providers
    • Support families regardless of income, diagnosis, or age

 

State-Recognized Provider: Family and Community Support Services is an authorized provider under the Texas Department of State Health Services-Children with Special Health Care Needs Program.
