(a) The LMHA is required to develop a transition plan
for an adolescent who will become 19 years of age while receiving
services under the waiver program. The transition plan must be developed
at least six months prior to the month the adolescent becomes 19 years
of age to ensure that the adolescent is appropriately transitioned
to adult services.
(b) The transition plan, required under subsection
(a) of this section, must be developed in consultation with the adolescent
and, if appropriate, the LAR, as well as future providers, allowing
adequate time for a smooth transition of the adolescent into adult
services. The transition plan must include:
(1) a summary of the mental health community services
and treatment received while in the waiver program;
(2) the adolescent's current assessment, e.g., diagnosis,
medications, level of functioning, and unmet needs;
(3) information from the adolescent and the LAR, if
appropriate, regarding the adolescent's strengths, preferences for
mental health community services, and responsiveness to past interventions;
and
(4) an IPC that:
(A) indicates the mental health and other community
services the adolescent will receive at the point of becoming 19 years
of age; and
(B) ensures the adolescent will be provided a smooth
transition to adult services.
