family navigation · ages 4+
Real help for real life.
From age 4 on, needs get more complex: school, behavior, several providers at once. So instead of a single plan, you get a care team, coordinated around finding the right providers for your child.

One team for everything you need.
What we've learned: as kids grow, one person and one plan aren't enough. Families need the right providers, IEP meetings covered, coaching for the hard weeks, and help with benefits, often all at once.
So for ages 4 and up, your retainer hours give you a care team. Provider matching stays at the center, and your team coordinates everything around it.
