Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) The agency shall ensure that youth are provided age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate services, and shall implement written policies and procedures that address age grouping of available services for nursery (ages three to five), latency (ages five to 10), pre-adolescent (ages 10 to 12), adolescent (ages 12 to 17), and aging-out youth (above age 17).

(b) The agency shall develop and implement written policies and procedures for transitioning youth from one age grouping to another age grouping, as well as for transitioning youth to adult services.

(c) The agency shall be permitted to provide partial care services to youth who attain age 18 provided that such services are indicated on the treatment plan, and adequately justified as to need for continued services.
