m. 1. E. How individuals with the most significant disabilities are selected for services before all other individuals with disabilities
Current Narrative:
All individuals within a higher priority category for services shall be served before individuals in the next lowest priority category are served. When it is impossible to serve all individuals within a priority category, individuals shall be placed on a deferred services waiting list and served in chronological order based on the date of application. In the event that the Order of Selection is rescinded, individuals on deferred services waiting lists and in unserved categories will be contacted and served.
The number of consumers on the waiting list by Order of Selection Category follows:
- OOS Category I - 0
- OOS Category II - 0
- OOS Category III - 0
- OOS Category IV - 0
- OOS Category V - 0
- Total - 0
In the last two PYs there have been 7 individuals placed on a waiting list for OOS Category V and periodically LRS opened the category as funding allowed in order to serve those individuals.
