CBAVT-ILEHP COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Community-Based Assessment:
We provide assessment for children with special health and
developmental needs in their home, school, and/or other community
environments where the family and providers feel we will have the best
opportunity to see the child in his/her natural situations. A trainee or fellow is assigned as the assessment coordinator.
- Referrals are made by family members, health care providers, schools, and other agencies.
- A community based intake interview is done to gather the concerns and questions of the family and team.
- Pre-assessment planning occurs with the full interdisciplinary team in collaboration with family and team.
- Community visits are made with an interdisciplinary team of 4 to 6 disciplines participating directly in the assessment.
- Assessment information is integrated to address identified questions and presented to the full interdisciplinary team, family, and community team who collaboratively develop recommendations.
- An interdisciplinary report is developed and a resource notebook is created.
- Follow-up
meetings are scheduled with the family and community providers to create
action plans for implementation of recommendations.
- Assessment coordination is available following the VT-ILEHP
community-based assessment to assist with implementation of
recommendations.
- The assessment coordinator is the liaison between VT-ILEHP and the family and their team for the remainder of the academic year.
