The PAS/ISC agent has helped arrange for every community-based support for my child, but nothing works. How do I proceed with residential placement?
Your child’s PAS/ISC agent assembles a “referral packet” of pertinent information regarding your child (IEP, Psychological Evaluations, Behavior Plans, Medical Information, etc.) and sends it to DHS approved facilities that might meet the needs of your child. At The Hope School, we review referral packets weekly to determine if a child might seem appropriate for our programs and services. If the child appears appropriate, we proceed with collecting additional information, including, but not limited to attaining medical records, screening the child by residential and behavior staff, and touring the parents through our residential and educational facilities. Once a final determination of appropriateness is made, the PAS/ISC agent submits the child’s funding packet to DHS for approval.
