Team 2 - Intake and DD Eligibility

The Intake and DD Eligibility Team will develop strategies to help individuals and families better navigate our complex system. Team members will provide recommendations for:

• streamlining the intake and eligibility process;
• making materials more user-friendly; and
• simplifying the process used to introduce individuals and families to our system, making it easier for them to gain access to services.

Additional Team Documentation

• Team 2 Recommendations  
• PowerPoint Presentation for Update Meeting of 11-12-14

Team Responsibilities

1. Describe a process for Support Coordinators to use when describing supports available (first contact discussion with families)
2. Describe a new model to identify supports needed/requested by family (NOT offer a service menu that already exists - but focus on the results the person/family wants)
3. Steps to carry out the timely identification of DD eligibility

Team Focus

• Families and Advocates Included
• Consistency in determining eligibility
• Train system-wide:everyone, not just SSA's
• Standard criteria set for eligibility
• Consider combining work - much duplication between ISSA/ISC, etc.
• Create a central database that shares all common general information (so parents don't have to repeat info)
