Other services available are drug court services, family drug court services, aftercare, vocational services, daycare and preschool services, and parenting classes.

The Dislocated Worker Program is available to qualifying individuals who have received an official layoff or closure notice. The Youth Program provides year-round case management services to prepare youth for the 21st century workforce. The Career Assistance Program provides supportive services to participants required to participate in a work or training activity in order to continue to receive Temporary Assistance benefits The Jobs for Missouri Graduates (JMG) program provides teachers in high school classrooms to teach a specific curriculum that is designed to help students as they transition from school to work. All programs are designed to assist clients with education, training and employment opportunities.

AO Community Services provides supports to both youth and people with developmental disabilities to live in the community of their choice. Community Services is built around the belief that communities are as strong as the people who are part of them, and everyone needs support to live a full and active life. Individualized Support Living and Community Integration services are the primary services offered to adults with developmental disabilities.

Community based services are also offered to at-risk youth and their families. Services are designed to keep youth successfully in their family home, and/or to support them in transitioning back into the community. AO, Inc. is prepared to offer mental health, family counseling and other support services needs to the individuals served through this Division. Through this Division, AO, Inc. partners with the Missouri Children’s Division to provide privatized case management services as the lead agency of the Springfield Partners Network.

AO Transitional Services provides transitional living services for young men and women ages 16-20 through residential campuses in Springfield and Rolla and individual apartments in communities throughout Missouri. This program provides temporary support to help youth plan and develop the skills they will need to make the move into “adulthood” and live independently.

LogistiCare has been managing non-emergency medical (NEMT) and other social service transportation programs for government agencies and managed care organization (MCOs) since 1989. LogistiCare currently is the nation’s largest and most experienced manager of Medicaid NEMT programs for state governments and MCOs, providing over 17 million NEMT trips annually in 36 states and the District of Columbia. LogsitiCare has also managed other types of human service transportation programs such as ADA paratransit, school transportation, commercial ambulance, and elderly dial-a-ride services.

LogistiCare pioneered what is known as the “brokerage” model for delivering transportation services. Under the brokerage model, the funding entity outsources the management of their transportation benefit to a professional transportation management company, usually under a full-risk capitated financial arrangement. LogistiCare’s consistent record of cost saving and service quality has been instrumental in the increasing adoption of the NEMT broker model by state Medicaid agencies and MCOs throughout the country.
