Step by step

  1. Send a concise dated change-and-risk summary to the responsible case manager or program contact.
  2. Request the specific reassessment, plan revision, priority or funding review, authorization, provider-access response, or crisis action.
  3. Ask for an interim safety plan, written result, named owner, and next-event date.

Expected next

An urgent contact, reassessment, plan revision, priority or authorization event, provider response, crisis referral, or written decision.

Save this proof

If this stalls or the answer is no

Use 911 or 988 according to immediate risk; otherwise escalate to the case manager’s supervisor, DDS region, DSS Autism Division, or notice-specific review route.
