What is the Florida Navigator? A web-based tool designed to assist users in researching information on state government disability programs and services Information shared include programs and services from: Agency for Health Care Administration Agency for Persons with Disabilities Department of Children and Families Department of Education Department of Elder Affairs Department of Health Department of Transportation

Why Create the Navigator? To better streamline the search for state services with consolidated information in one place To provide information in a format that is not overwhelming to users To sort information by life stages: Early Years: Birth to 3 years of age, or before the child enters the education system School Years: Ages 4-21 Work and Family Years: Ages 22-59 Retirement Years: Ages 60+

How Does the Navigator Differ from Resource Directory? Search results are specific to state services only Small and separate to empower users without overwhelming Navigates users to the agency Search results provide eligibility requirements, contact information, and a direct link to program’s web page for additional information Offers a connection with the Family Care Councils

Family Care Councils In 1993, the Florida Legislature passed legislation to establish an all volunteer Family Care Council (FCC) to be located in each service area of the Agency for Persons Disabilities (APD) in Chapter 393.502, F.S. Each of the 15 FCCs are made up of Governor appointed members Parents Guardians Siblings Grandparents

Family Care Councils The primary functions of the local family care councils shall be to: Assist in providing information and outreach to families. Review the effectiveness of APD service programs and make recommendations with respect to program implementation. Advise the APD with respect to policy issues relevant to the community and family support system in the local area. Meet and share information with other local family care councils.

Family Care Councils There are 15 FCCs across the state.
