We, the Public Policy Committee of the Virginia Association for Behavior Analysis, have the following comments on the DBHDS DD Support Coordination (Case Management) Handbook.
On page 49, crisis prevention services staff should not revise the behavior plan as drafted. They should revise the CEPP, if indicated. Only the Behaviorist, who authored the behavior plan, should revise the plan.
On pages 97-98, consider inserting “Licensed Behavior Analyst and Licensed Assistant Behavior Analyst” under “Who else can help?” for Constipation, Dehydration, UTI, Change in Mental Status, and Elopement/Wandering.
On page 109, consider adding our association as a resource under Community Resources – www.virginiaaba.org.
We thank you for the opportunity to comment and welcome your continued partnership.
