STEP 2

OhioKAN BASICS

If we decide together that OhioKAN can help your family, we will walk through a series of questions we call the BASICS. This is to make sure we get a full understanding of your situation.

STEP 4

Taking Action, Together

Your Navigator will work with you to come up with a plan of action, and you’ll then be able to track down the referred resources on your own or have your Navigator help you directly apply for each service!
