What is the difference between parental consent and parental notification?
The Authority for Evaluation and Treatment (AET) is the Department’s general parental consent form authorizing specific medical care and treatment for youth in the custody of the Department. For the purpose of the AET document, departmental custody includes those DJJ facilities where youth are housed 24 hours per day, such as, Detention Centers and Residential Commitment Programs. The AET provides limited authority for youth in DJJ facility-based non-residential programs. There are certain types of care that requires additional written consent that is not addressed in the Authority for Evaluation and Treatment.
