Training and Habilitation Service (892) #
Service Code Definition: #
A regional center shall classify a vendor as a provider of Training and Habilitation Service for any services the vendor provides prior to July 1, 2000, pursuant to Title 17, Section 58614(b) to meet the training and habilitation needs of the consumer. Training and Habilitation Service must be tailored to the specific training and habilitation needs and capacities of an individual consumer, and is intended to result in an increased ability on the part of the consumer to establish and maintain constructive human relationships, assume and exercise membership in the community, and meet his/her needs without assistance. Training and Habilitation Service is accessed only in accordance with the determination made through the consumer’s IPP process of its appropriateness in consideration of the consumer’s cognitive or physical challenges, and only when any corresponding Personal Support Service alternative, as defined in (a), is determined to be less appropriate in consideration of the consumer’s cognitive or physical challenges. Training and Habilitation differs from any corresponding Personal Support Service in that the immediate result of the service (e.g., successful preparation of a meal) is always consequential to, but never the primary objective of, the training.
Beginning July 1, 2000, all services previously provided under Service Code 892 shall be provided only in accordance with (d).
