| Fair's administration office keeps records of all written and electronic correspondence as well as oversee expenses, employee salaries, provider assignments and payments.
|
The planning and organization of agency responsibility is generally assumed by the director and specific referrals discussed before assignment by the administrative assistant.
|
| The administration office develops and maintains an on-going network with other EI agencies in referring EI families for services. That is, FAIR arranges for the service coordinators to supervise new cases and, in return, service these families with evaluations and therapy. |
Subject to monthly changes, the number of specialists are approximately as follows: 15 Special Educators, 5 Social Workers, 9 Speech and Language Specialists, 4 Physical Therapists and 2 Occupational Therapists.
FAIR providers are collectively serving approximately 100 children, each with therapies averaging three hours weekly. They are required to submit written reports for each of these home-based visits that are in turn reviewed by FAIR for documentation as well as invoices, payments and referrals to Service Coordinators, as well as for record keeping and use by the Early Intervention Office Designate (EIOD) for the Bronx and Manhattan.
All FAIR evaluations are conducted in the home: Special Education to learn about the child's cognitive problems; Social Work to gain a perspective of the family and circumstances of its members in both helping and hindering the child's growth and development; Speech and Language to gain an insight into a large aspect of the child's oral and aural problems; Physical and Occupational evaluations to assess the child's general and fine motor skills.
Therapy is assigned to the extent reports specify, the EIOD identifies and the parent agrees with these evaluations.
