MCKIDS provides a multitude of services to support the growth and development of children, with developmental delays or disabilities, and their families.

A Family Service Coordinator will coordinate all of the child's/family's paperwork, services, and any resources that may be needed.

A Primary Service Provider will provide special instruction, coaching, and guided therapy in order to equip parents or caregivers to meet the needs of the child. All services are provided in the Natural Environment which are settings where the child and family spend time doing typical and valued activities such as the home, grocery store, park, McDonald's, Grandma's house, daycare, and so on. During visits, the Primary Service Provider will spend some time observing parents or caregivers interacting with the child. A joint plan will be discussed between parents or caregivers and the PSP as to what needs should be addressed. The PSP may model specific strategies for the parent or caregiver to use in order to support the child's learning and development. Then, parents or caregivers and the PSP will work together to determine how and when to embed those strategies into daily routines.
