Intake/Assessment

Intake services are the contact point for information and services regarding Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. A Determination of Eligibility must be completed to determine a Diagnosis of Intellectual Disability or a Related Condition. This process must be completed prior to the individual's enrollment into services. A Determination of Eligibility is completed by a Camino Real psychologist. To make an appointment or to receive additional information, contact the Essential Services Intake Worker at (210)-357-0300.

Service Coordination and Service Authorization & Monitoring

Service Coordinators assist individuals in gaining access to medical, social, educational and other available services and supports that will help an individual achieve a quality of life and community participation acceptable to the individual. Service Coordinators develop a Person Directed Plan that reflects the desires and goals of the individual. Service Coordinators assist the individual in identifying their goals through screening, assessing, service planning, monitoring for satisfaction of services, resource authorization, and crisis intervention as needed. The Service Coordinator focuses on services that are identified in the individual's plan and make appropriate referrals for services. Services are comprehensive and individualized and are provided at a frequency and intensity necessary to maintain successful community living.
