Universal Citation: 8 NM Admin Code 8.371.7.14
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. Prior to the start of the formal transition process, the facility interdisciplinary team (FIDT) shall convene to conduct the annual IPP meeting. At this facility IDT meeting, the following transition activities shall be conducted:
(1)
Review individual for community placement; if appropriate, make formal
recommendation for community transition to begin and identify probable
geographic area of community move. The individual and parent/guardian(s) shall,
in consultation with the FIDT, choose the probable area of relocation.
(a) If a recommendation for community
placement is made, the presumption is that the individual shall, if a child,
move home with necessary supports, or, if an adult, move to the family's home
town or nearby. This presumption may be altered by factors such as individual
interest and choice, work interest and opportunities, friendships, families
with competing interests, and the potential availability and costs of medical
resources and other support services or service providers. The social worker
shall notify the Jackson office of the facility of the
individual's community placement recommendation and probable area of relocation
within five days.
(b) After
notification regarding an individual's probable area of relocation, the
Jackson office shall add the individual to the transition
planning calendar. The Jackson transition representative (JTR)
shall inform the individual and the individual's parent/guardian of the
identity of potential community service providers and the types of services the
community service provider offers. The facility social worker and case manager,
if already chosen, shall assist the individual and parent/guardian in making
the community service provider selection (see Activity 7, below).
(2) Establish goals and objectives
in the IPP that will facilitate the individual's transition, if community
placement is recommended.
(3)
Identify strengths and supports within the ten "life areas" (profile of
supports form). Make support descriptions useful.
(4) Access regional office staff for
community resource information and liaison. Identify generic resources in the
area of relocation that could be utilized by the individual.
B. Transition planning for individuals recommended for community placement shall proceed after the facility IDT meeting with the following activities. Unless the context requires otherwise, activities may occur concurrently.
