Admissions
Criteria
State Center Intensive Treatment Programs
Individuals eligible for Intensive Treatment Program (ITP) services are
children and adults with developmental disabilities who meet the following
diagnostic eligibility criteria for residential services consistent with
the requirements of the Developmental Disabilities Medicaid Waiver:
-
Whose preadmission assessment has
identified active treatment needs which cannot be adequately met
elsewhere due to significant maladaptive and inappropriate behaviors
which are due to social, psychological, psychiatric, and medical
factors; and
-
Whose preadmission assessment has
identified active treatment needs that can be met at an ITP; and
-
Whose need for active treatment can be
best met by decreasing the frequency of those behaviors which are
interfering with other active treatment needs and simultaneously
increasing those skills necessary to achieve functioning with as much
self determination and independence as possible, and preventing the
loss or regression of functioning; and
-
Consistent with the ICF-MR standards,
individuals who need a program of active treatment that includes
aggressive, consistent implementation of a program of specialized and
generic training, treatment, and health services; and
-
Whose needs include acquiring the skills
essential for privacy and independence and includes, but is not
limited to: toilet training, personal hygiene, dental hygiene, self
feeding, bathing, dressing, grooming, communication of basic needs,
self-medication, use of medical devices and money management; and
-
Whose needs for medical services and
supports can be adequately met by the ITP.
ITP services are not for individuals who are able to function with
little supervision or in the absence of a program of continuous active
treatment or for persons who are generally able to independently take care
of most of their personal care needs, and effectively and appropriately
make known to others their basic needs and wants.
ITP services are not intended for emergency detentions under Chapter
51.
Note: These criteria apply to the three (3) Center ITPs. Additionally,
specific admission decisions will consider gender, age, compatibility, and
the availability of necessary programs and services based on the
preadmission assessment.
