Short-term service navigation is available to any family that feels they are in need of short-term individualized support. Help may be needed with specific issues including guardianship and eligibility.

The FSC offers a menu of activities and events for children, youth, and adults with DD, a recreational program for youth, and additional special activities for young adults.
