The Department of Human Services shall establish by rule the application and eligibility determination processes for developmental disability services. (2) Developmental disability services shall be provided pursuant to an individualized service plan that is developed and reassessed at least annually using a person-centered planning process. (3) The department shall ensure that each individual receiving developmental disability services and the individual’s guardian or legal representative has an active role in choosing the services, activities and purchases that will best meet the individual’s needs and preferences and to express those choices verbally, using sign language or by other appropriate methods of communication. (4) Developmental disability services must complement the existing formal and informal supports, services, activities and purchases available to an individual. (5) The department shall ensure that each individual and the individual’s guardian or legal representative has the opportunity to confirm satisfaction with the developmental disability services that the individual receives and to make changes in the services as necessary. (6) The department shall ensure that all individuals receiving developmental disability services have an equal opportunity for job placements.

The residence of an individual may not be the exclusive factor in determining eligibility for a job placement. [Formerly 427.402; 2019 c.276 §4]
