What are Client-Base Services?

Client-based services are one-on-one activities involving the main caregivers of a child or children. A client is defined as a person who receives services from an AHWS-funded program, and for whom case-records or services notes are kept. Each client must have a unique client identifier (i.e. client ID number.)
