Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) Person-centered planning is a process that empowers an individual to plan the individual's services and supports to achieve desired outcomes.

(b) A program provider must ensure the person-centered planning process is led by an individual to the maximum extent possible. An individual's LAR has a participatory role, as needed and defined by the individual, unless State law confers decision-making authority to the LAR.

(c) The person-centered planning process must be used to develop an IPP, a PAS/HAB plan, an enrollment IPC, a renewal IPC, a revised IPC, a service backup plan, and an individual transportation plan.

(d) The person-centered planning process must:

(1) include people chosen by an individual, or LAR;

(2) provide the information and support the individual needs to lead the planning process and make informed choices and decisions;

(3) occur at a time and location convenient to the individual and LAR;

(4) consider the individual's cultural preferences;

(5) provide information in plain language to the individual and in a manner that is accessible to the individual:
(A) through the provision of auxiliary aids and services at no cost to the individual in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, if the individual requires such aids or services to communicate; and

(B) through the provision of language services at no cost to the individual, including oral interpretation and written translations, if the individual has limited English proficiency;

(6) use strategies for solving conflict or disagreement within the person-centered planning process;

(7) provide information to the individual or LAR to allow the individual or LAR to make informed decisions, including decisions about DBMD Program and CFC services, the settings in which the individual receives a DBMD Program service or a CFC service, and service providers; and

(8) inform the individual or LAR that the individual or LAR may request revisions to an IPP, a PAS/HAB plan, an enrollment IPC, a renewal IPC, a revised IPC, a service backup plan, or an individual transportation plan at any time by communicating the request to the program provider.
