OCSHCN contracts with
agencies throughout the state to provide
Family Resource Coordination in each of the
15 counties in Arizona through a
comprehensive, coordinated, interagency,
multi-disciplinary, and family centered
approach. 
Family Resource Coordinators are responsible
for securing and coordinating services
across agency lines, and serve as an initial
point of contact in helping families obtain
services and assistance. Family Resource
Coordinators partner with families and other
professionals to identify goals and
potential outcomes that will support the
child/youth’s continued growth, development,
and learning.
Family Resource Coordination is available to
several populations of children and
families:
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Children and youth who are survivors of
traumatic brain injury sustained before the
age of 18 may qualify for Family Resource
Coordination. Services are based upon
self/caregiver report and/or medical
documentation.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
Children and youth who are survivors of
a spinal cord injury sustained before the
age of 18 may qualify for Family Resource
Coordination. Provision of services is based
upon self/caregiver report and/or medical
documentation of a severance or severe
injury to the spinal cord and or nerve roots
caused by trauma.
