Section 3680.42. Individual service plan (ISP)

(a) The legal entity shall ensure that, within 30 days of acceptance for service, an ISP is developed and implemented for a child. The ISP shall identify the daily care and treatment which will be provided to the child and shall include the following:

(1) A statement of goals to be achieved, including specific time-limited objectives which relate to the need for service.

(2) Specific activities and services planned to achieve the established goals and objectives including, at a minimum, a description of educational, vocational and specialized treatment activities in which the child will participate.

(3) A schedule of the child’s visits with parents, if the child is receiving full-day services.

(4) Identification of the persons responsible for implementing, or coordinating the implementation of, the ISP.

(b) By July 24, 1987, an ISP for children already receiving services shall be developed.

(c) An opportunity to participate in the development of the ISP shall be provided to the following persons:

(1) The parents or guardian.

(2) The child, if capable of participating.

(3) A representative of the placing agency, if other than the parents or guardian.

(d) The ISP shall be signed by the agency administrator or a designee. The persons specified in subsection (c) shall be given the opportunity to sign the ISP and shall be given a copy of the plan when it is completed.

(e) A copy of the ISP shall be kept in a client’s record.

(f) A client’s ISP shall be formally reviewed at least once every 6 months to determine progress in achieving the established goals and objectives. The first review of the child’s ISP shall occur no later than 6 months from the date of the child’s acceptance for service. For children already receiving service on January 24, 1987, the review shall occur no later than 6 months from the date of the initial ISP. Subsequent reviews of the ISP—those following the first review—shall be held no later than 6 months from the date of the previous review. If appropriate, the ISP shall be modified or revised as a result of the review. Results of the review shall be kept in the client’s record. Persons specified in subsection (c) shall be given an opportunity to participate in the review and shall be given a copy of revisions to the ISP made as a result of the review.

(g) A report on the child’s progress shall be submitted at least quarterly to the placing agency. The results of the most current 6-month review of the ISP may be used to meet this requirement.

The provisions of this § 3680.42 adopted January 23, 1987, effective April 24, 1987, 17 Pa.B. 392.
