ASD and ILP Service: How to NOT overlap
Our goal is to support parents in transition and maintain compliance with Part C regulations
Scenario #1: Part B eligibility determined but we are still going to serve prior to enrollment in school
- For parents who would like to continue services up until child is three and have qualified for Part B services, we inform the parent that the child cannot be dually enrolled, or simultaneously enrolled in Part C and Part B services.
- Provider will document in a daily note that “the child has qualified for Part B services, is not enrolled in ASD, and parent has requested to continue Part C services until child turns age 3.”
Scenario #2: Part B eligibility has NOT been determined prior to age 3, but is scheduled to take place.
- Providers may not deliver further services after the child's 3rd birthday. However, providers may attend an Evaluation and Eligibility Meeting/IEP Meeting after discharge. If a child receives services after his/her 3rd birthday from PIC, the agency becomes responsible for their education. Child cannot be enrolled in Part B and Part C services simultaneously.
For children with meetings/events after age three:
- Complete a discharge note prior to their 3rd birthday.
- Complete a communication log note thoroughly documenting the time, location, people present, and your role/actions.
