3. Provider Coordination: The case manager identifies and coordinates with qualified respite care providers, ensuring they have the necessary skills and training to meet the child's specific needs.
4. Scheduling and Logistics: The case manager assists the family in scheduling respite care sessions, handling logistics, and ensuring a smooth transition of care.
5. Ongoing Monitoring: The case manager regularly checks in with the family to monitor the effectiveness of the respite care plan, making adjustments as needed.

7. Advocacy and Navigation: The case manager helps families navigate the complex systems of care, advocating on their behalf to ensure they receive the appropriate services and support.
