SFY 2003 Community Services Performance Contract for Operating CSBs and Behavioral Health Authorities b~active Case means a case that does not meet the criteria for an active case, but has not vet been closed (i.e., the person has not been discharged). When a person returns for servicers prior to discharge, the person's case is returned to an active status, and the Board does not readmit the consumer. That is, services provided within the 180 day period (refer to section 5.3.6) are considered to be part of the same episode of care until the time of that consumer's discharge. This definition does not apply to individuals receiving respite services (supep,'ised or supportive residential services) or summer camp services (alternative day support services). Individualized Services Plan or ISP means a written plan, developed with the participation of the consumer, that identifies the needs and desires of the consumer and the strategies and treatment interventions to be used to meet those needs and desires. The ISP defines and describes measurable goals, objectives, and expected outcomes of services and is designed to meet the needs of a specific consumer. The ISP is sometimes referred to as a consumer services plan (CSP) or a plan of care, treatment plan. or habilitation plan. Letter of Notification means the formal notice sent by the Department to the Board that lists - the Board's allocations of state general and federal funds for the contract period. Revised letters may be issued by the Department during the term of the contract to adjust (i.e., increase or decrease) allocations of state general and federal funds. Mental Retardation, as defined by the Code of Virginia, means substantial subaverage general intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period and is associated with impairment in adaptive behavior. For the purposes of this contract, mental retardation includes the American Association on Mental Retardation definition, provided here for additional clarity, which refers to substantial limitations in present functioning. It is characterized by sig-nificantly subaverage intellectual functioning, existing concurrently with related limitations (the limitations in adaptive skills are more closely related to the intellectual limitation than to some other circumstances such as cultural or linguistic diversity or sensory limitation) in two of more of the following applicable adaptive skills areas: communication, self-care, home living, social skills, community use, self-direction, health and safety, functional academics, leisure, and work. The existence of limitations in adaptive skills occurs within the context of community enviromnents typical of the individual's age peers and is indexed to the person's individualized needs for supports. Mental retardation manifests before age 18. A diagnosis of mental retardation is'made independent of related mental disorders (e.g., autistic disorder and learning disorders) and general medical conditions (e.g., epilepsy and cerebral palsy). Intellectual functioning alone may be insufficient to diagnose mental retardation. Limitations in adaptive skills areas are also typically present. Operating Community Services Board (CSB or Board) means the public body, organized in accordance with the provisions of Title 37.1, Chapter 10 of the Code of Virginia, that is appointed by and accountable to the local governing body of each political subdivision that established it for the provision of mental health, mental retardation, and substance abuse services.
