The Maryland State Department of Education, Division of Special Education/Early Intervention Services maintains a network of local Family Support Services Coordinators that assist parents of children with disabilities to fully participate in planning early intervention and special education services for their child.
Case managers generally assist in remedying miscommunication and misinterpretation of the law. Along with facilitating family-school communication and assisting in the understanding of special education law, case managers clarify issues and facilitate problem-solving between teachers, administrators, service providers and family members.
