Before a determination of the case management service eligibility of a child or an adult for whom case management services have been requested, the person designated by the county board to coordinate case management services shall attempt to contact the child's parent or legal representative and the child or the adult no later than 15 working days after the local agency receives the referral or request under part 9520.0906. In the contact, the person designated by the county board to coordinate case management services must explain that access to case management services depends on a determination that the child has a severe emotional disturbance or the adult has serious and persistent mental illness and must assist the child's parent or legal representative and the child as described in part 9520.0907 or the adult to make an informed choice of whether to obtain the diagnostic assessment or the review and updating of a diagnostic assessment required under part 9520.0909 in order to make the determination of the child's eligibility. In helping the child's parent or legal representative and the child or the adult make an informed choice on whether to obtain a diagnostic assessment, the person designated by the county board to coordinate case management services must explain that the local agency will, if requested, assist in obtaining a diagnostic assessment.
