STAFFING FOR CASE MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
Each State Lead Center will also serve as a SJB Family Level 1 Center for case management. To
serve as a Level 1 Center each institution must be able to manage a specialized case management
system for the children/young adults and their families (this would be the staffing for all Level 1
Centers within each state to cover a certain geographic region/demographic population). A
Level 1 Center will have a Center Manager, a Field Specialist, a dozen SJB Family Specialists,
administrative support and office space. A Level 2 Center will have a Field Specialist, six SJB
Family Specialists without any administrative support or office space. A Level 3 Center will
only have three SJB Family Specialists. Both Level 2 and Level 3 Centers will be managed by
the Center Manager within their region.
Center Manager – responsible for specific geographic coverage area by managing the Field
Specialists and all SJB Family Specialists within coverage area
Field Specialist – responsible for education and training within coverage area and assisting the
SJB Family Specialists with students and families when the student reaches age 16 and continues
until age 25 for transition-related issues
