Section 8.371.5.8 - INTRODUCTION

A. For all recipients of the developmental disabilities medicaid waiver services, this interdisciplinary team shall be chaired by the individual, if they so desire, or by the independent case manager. Services called for in the ISP shall be coordinated by the independent case manager according to the procedures described herein.

B. For all state general fund recipients, this interdisciplinary team shall be chaired by the individual, if he or she desires, or by the designated service coordinator of a community service provider agency. Services called for in the ISP shall be coordinated by the service coordinator staff of the key community service provider agency according to the procedures described herein.

C. The IDT shall review and discuss information and recommendations with the individual, with the goal of supporting the individual in attaining desired outcomes. The IDT develops an ISP based upon the individual's personal vision statement, strengths, needs, interests and preferences. The ISP is a dynamic document, revised periodically, as needed, and amended to reflect progress towards personal goals and achievements consistent with the individual's future vision. This regulation is consistent with standards established for individual plan development as set forth by accreditation entities approved and adopted by the developmental disabilities supports division and the health care authority. It is the policy of the developmental disabilities support division (DDSD) that to the extent permitted by funding, each individual receive supports and services that will assist and develop independence and productivity in the community and take affirmative action to prevent regression or loss of current capabilities. Services and supports include specialized and generic services, training, education or treatment as determined by the IDT and documented in the ISP.

D. The intent is to provide choice and obtain opportunities for individuals to live, work and play with full participation in their communities.
