Early Intervention Service Coordinator

Developmental Disabilities Resource Center • Lakewood, CO

2d • $23 - $26

About The Position

Join our Early Intervention team as a Service Coordinator - a role designed to strengthen our commitment to Dedication, Dignity, Respect, and Choice in every aspect of service delivery.
Since 1964, DDRC has been committed to empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and supporting their families. With a team of 200+ dedicated staff, we offer a wide range of services from Early Intervention to adult residential, employment, and community programs. Our mission is grounded in inclusion, opportunity, and helping every person reach their fullest potential.
The Service Coordinator supports young children with developmental delays and their families by coordinating Early Intervention (EI) services from eligibility through transition. Serving as the family's main point of contact, this role helps families understand the EI process, leads IFSP meetings, and ensures services are delivered on time and in a family centered way.
Service Coordinators partner closely with families, honoring them as the primary decision‑makers for their child. They support family assessments, explain child development and available services, and connect families with community resources that promote overall well‑being.
This role also includes planning and coordinating smooth transitions out of Early Intervention, including explaining preschool special education options, coordinating transition meetings, and completing required timelines and documentation.
Strong communication and organization are key. Service Coordinators maintain regular contact with families, providers, and partners; use interpretation services when needed; and ensure accurate documentation, consent, and confidentiality in compliance with state and federal regulations.
Service Coordinators participate in team meetings, complete required trainings and administrative tasks, and engage in ongoing professional development while remaining flexible in a dynamic, family focused environment.
Our team demonstrates dedication to creating an environment where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are supported and empowered. We are committed to ensuring every person is treated with dignity, every interaction reflects respect, and every individual is offered meaningful choice in their daily lives. As a mission-driven organization, we value collaboration and long-term growth evidenced by our impressive average employee tenure of nine years.
