A. DDOs must respect and support each participant's control over their own ISP and the ISP meeting, including participant choice of plan writer, selection of who to invite to the plan meeting, choice of time and location, decision on how to conduct and who will conduct the ISP meeting, and setting of goals and objectives meaningful to the participant.

B. The DDO's support coordinator is responsible for ensuring that a plan is person-centered, includes a Career Development Plan, agreed to and signed by the participant, amended as needed or requested, and for the ongoing monitoring of how the DDO is meeting the ISP goals and objectives.

C. All Participants receiving services from DDOs shall have an annual ISP submitted and approved before the individual's anniversary date. Late submissions will cause authorizations to be suspended until a new plan is accepted. DDOs cannot retroactively bill for time when an authorization is suspended.

2. Documentation of the positive interventions and supports used prior to any modifications of the ISP.

3. Documentation of less intrusive methods of meeting the need that have been tried but did not work.

4. Inclusion of a clear description of the condition that is directly proportionate to this assessed need.

5. Inclusion of regular collection and review of data to measure the ongoing effectiveness of the modification.

6. Inclusion of established time limits for periodic reviews to determine if the modification is still necessary or can be terminated.

7. Inclusion of the informed consent of the participant.
