In addition to providing clients with readily available information about and referral to the network of Indiana disability service providers, the Case Manager may also take on a more involved advocacy role in assisting the client in obtaining services not provided by UCPAGI. Such advocacy may include making phone calls, writing letters, submitting complaints or other action deemed necessary by the Case Manager with the consent of the client.

In the event that several requests are made for intervention related to the same issue or obstacle, the Executive Director will initiate the systems’ advocacy process with the appropriate entity.

Non-identifying and collective demographic information about Advocacy requests and disposition will be reported at least annually to the Board of Directors.

Intake process: Contact the UCPAGI Case Manager
