The Service
Coordination Connection:
Connecting Service Coordinators, Families, and
Appropriate Part C Services
Service Coordination, under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA),
is provided at no cost to families to assure their rights and
procedural safeguards and assist them in accessing
appropriate early intervention services.[303.23

Welcome
to The Service Coordination
Connection! This page of the
TECS website is devoted to the interests of:
Service coordinators and other interested Part C
service providers.
Families who receive service coordination through
South Carolina’s Part C program or would like more information on
Part C Service Coordination.
The purposes of this
web page are to:
Provide families with useful
information related to service coordination as required by Part C of
IDEA.
Provide service coordinators
with useful tools, resources, and information that will help them to
better “connect” families and children within SC’s Part C program to
appropriate services.
Content for this page
is selected with regard to the description of “service coordination”
provided in Part C of the IDEA, as well as evidence-based and
recommended practices in early childhood special education. In
addition, consideration is given to the significant role of Service
Coordination providers in addressing Office of Special Education
Program (OSEP) identified outcomes for children and families.

BabyNet Covered Diagnoses
Guide (PDF, 793K): This document was developed to give a brief
description of each of the conditions listed in “Appendix 3: Covered Diagnoses” of
the BabyNet Online Policy and Procedure Manual.
The information gathered for this document was taken from various
online peer/doctor reviewed resources. At the bottom of each page,
there is a link that connects directly to the online resource where
the information was located. It may be helpful to visit these links
for more information on the specific diagnoses, as each fact sheet
is one page and includes only a brief summary.
