Service definitions Case management or service coordination involves finding and organizing multiple treatment and support services, and may also include preparing, monitoring, and revising service plans; and advocating on behalf of the child and family. Case managers may also provide supportive counseling. Individual therapy relies on interaction between therapist/clinician and child to promote psychological and behavior change. Medication treatment and monitoring services typically include the prescription of psychoactive medications by a physician (e.g., psychiatrist) that are designed to alleviate symptoms and promote psychological growth. Treatment includes periodic assessment and monitoring of the child’s reaction(s) to the drug.
