Section 8.371.7.22 - ACTIVITY 8: WRITTEN INDIVIDUAL PREFERENCE ASSESSMENT
After completing the activities specified above, but at least 26 days before the TIDT meeting described in Activity 11, the case manager shall complete, with the individual and helper, a written assessment of the individual's strengths, interests, likes and dislikes. This assessment shall detail what the individual would like their life to be like in the community, including maintaining existing friendships and building new ones, community involvement, employment for the individual who is an adult, hobbies, leisure activities, and housemates. This assessment and review shall be individualized and rely as much as possible on available community generic resources rather than specialized service models. The case manager will collaborate with the Jackson transition representative (JTR) and the facility Q.M.R.P. or social worker to facilitate any co-scheduling of the TIDTs where other class member housemates are identified as a preference.
