What is a Navigator Team?
A navigator team is a group of individuals who live in a county of Georgia. The team and its leader(s) are parents who have experience in accessing services. The navigator team may also include professionals who want to assist and be a resource to families. The navigator team has several roles that they are asked to play in their community. These include the following:
• Be a point of contact for information
• Be familiar with resources in the community
• Access web based resource information for families using the Parent to Parent Roadmap to Services and database
• Provide local resource information to be added to the database
• Reach out to families in the county who are un-served or underserved
• Link families with both formal and informal supports based on their needs
• Identify issues that are concerns in the local community
• Listen to family concerns and provide information to them about their topics of interest
• Make sure the needs of families are known in the local community
If you find yourself searching for services, resources, or support then you're in the right place. Whether your child has a diagnosis of Asthma, Attention Deficit Disorder, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, PDD, Bipolar Disorder, Muscular Dystrophy, Sensory Integration Disorder or anything in between, we are here to work with you and your family!
