• Maintaining a needs list of those waiting for specific services.
• Offering service coordination while the person and/or their guardian are deciding which service and/or provider they wish to access.
• Providing information and referral services to the person seeking services and assisting them as they apply for admission.
• Coordinating the move of people with developmental disabilities who live in state institutions back to their home community when they wish to relocate.

This includes developing services within funding and regulatory and system constraints, working with providers to address issues that arise within the Nemaha County system, and advocating for state and local systems changes when needed.
