Step by step

  1. Confirm the assessment appointment, accessibility needs, participants, and records the assessor needs.
  2. Answer with current functional examples and distinguish what the person can do from what is safe and sustainable without support.
  3. Request the resulting written eligibility notice and preserve Medicaid financial notices separately.

Expected next

An assessment completion, request for more information, written adult-DD eligibility notice, Medicaid notice, or service-option step.

Save this proof

Appointment record, supplied information, assessment notes, accommodation requests, eligibility notice, and Medicaid notices.

Limits

Adult-DD eligibility, ICF/IID level of care, independent-assessment findings, and Medicaid financial eligibility are separate. None alone proves waiver enrollment, authorization, provider readiness, or service start.

Beyond Childhood’s checklists and prompts are planning aids derived from official sources. They are not official forms, legal advice, eligibility decisions, or guarantees of funding, capacity, quality, or service.
