C. The following two programs shall be
provided under the ADC module.
1. Day
Habilitation Services
a. Day habilitation
services include assistance with acquisition, retention or improvement in
self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills that take place in a
non-residential setting separate from the recipients private residence or other
residential living arrangement. Day habilitation services provide activities
and environments designed to foster the acquisition of skills, appropriate
behavior, greater independence and personal choice.
i. Day habilitation services are provided in
a variety of community settings, (i.e. local recreation department, garden
clubs, libraries, etc.) other than the recipients residence and are not limited
to a fixed-site facility.
b. Services are furnished to a client who is
17 years of age or older and has a developmental disability, or who is a
functionally impaired adult, on a regularly scheduled basis during normal
daytime working hours for one or more day's per week, or as specified in the
recipients service plan.
c. Day
habilitation services focus on enabling the recipient to attain or maintain his
or her maximum functional level, and shall be coordinated with any physical,
occupational, or speech therapies in the service plan. These services may also
serve to reinforce skills or lessons taught in other settings.
2. Prevocational Services
a. Prevocational services prepare a recipient
for paid employment or volunteer opportunities. Services include teaching such
concepts as compliance, attendance, task completion, problem solving and
safety. Services are not job-task oriented, but are aimed at a generalized
result. These services are reflected in the recipients service plan and are
directed to habilitative (e.g. attention span, motor skills) rather than
explicit employment objectives.
b.
Individuals receiving prevocational services shall have an employment related
goal as part of their individual service plan.
c. This service is not available to client's
eligible to receive services under a program funded under the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
(IDEA).
