[QUOTE="buddy, post: 533523, member: 12886"] TeDo, that is what I remember from our vulnerable adult training when I worked in group homes too... I was told for Q that since to be on his Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) waiver (sounds like TL was told this too) that part of the qualification is that he be certified as permanently disabled by the state. He has had that since he got on that waiver (he didn't need it for the daughter waiver but I think that is for kids anyway??? I might be really wrong about that though ). Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) continues on for him for sure (unless a miracle happens and he suddenly is healed ??? ) and part of the plan is a county risk management plan. In that plan it states what his areas of vulnerability are what level of supervision is needed, how to handle things etc. covers ADL's, community issues, etc.... And he will have to have a guardian whether me, the county/state, a relative etc. (It will be me for a long while). I can only share as far as I have experienced, dont know all the ins and outs, that is why it will be even more interesting to see how this plays out for TL and the tweedles. We used to l ive in that county till he was in third grade. He was on a dev. disability waiver and they said Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is no different but when we moved to this county they said that county was nuts and switched him. His waiver more than doubled. (which then allowed for the in home behavior people/psychiatric, Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) etc....beyond the PCA care).
