SECTION 307.11. Transition Planning

(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.
