Disability Case Manager
There are many products and services available to assist people with disabilities. Because of this, it is often difficult for disabled individuals to determine which services and products would be most beneficial for them. To make it easier to select products and services, disability case managers work individually with disabled people to determine what they need.
Effective case managers must be good communicators and able to determine specifically what their clients are seeking. To do this, they conduct interviews and review medical records. Once they have determined their clients' needs, case managers make arrangements, so their clients can receive what they need. For example, a person recuperating from a serious car accident may need a motorized wheelchair and the assistance of a physical therapist. It is the duty of the case manager to determine what their clients need and follow through to make sure they receive it.
Case managers are also responsible for coordinating adjustments to their clients' assistance plans. If they determine a client requires an additional service, they must make arrangements for it. For example, if a patient struggling with Attention Deficit Disorder is diagnosed with dyslexia, the case manager would need to arrange for additional assistance or accommodations for the client.
Health insurance providers, government agencies, companies providing products for disabled individuals, health clinics, and non-profit organizations employ disability case managers. Most organizations recruiting and hiring these professionals seek candidates who possess a nursing or social work college degree. This is a great career for people who want to make a difference in the lives of the disabled.
