Opening Doors into Rural Communities

Opening Doors into Rural Communities (ODRC) is providing technical assistance and evaluating the efforts of four rural communities as they attempt to develop more comprehensive, coordinated early intervention systems.

ODRC is currently providing assistance to four communities including Pocatello, Idaho; Lewiston, Idaho; Augusta, Maine; and Jefferson County, Missouri. The communities will be targeting the following serviced integration strategies as recommended by the Federal Interagency Coordinating Council: (a) common application and eligibility procedures; (b) the use of blended or flexible funding; (c) integrated data and information systems; and (d) coordination of early intervention with the medical home. Project efforts have focused on providing technical assistance to support the community efforts and on measuring the anticipated changes in family satisfaction with services as well as changes in the service system infrastructure.
