The habilitation coordinator must attend the person’s initial IDT meeting. The PE evaluator, or LIDDA representative if the person who completed the PE is not in attendance, shares the results of the Community Living Options (CLO) presented during the PE, that is completed Form 1054, Community Living Options. If barriers are identified in Sections 6, 7 or 8 of Form 1054, then the habilitation coordinator and IDT members should determine if receiving any specialized service could help eliminate barriers. If so, the specialized service is considered recommended and must be identified as such on the PASRR Comprehensive Service Plan (PCSP) form.
