Prepare for the supports-coordinator meeting

Before you start

  • Goals, routines, communication, health and safety information, current and unmet supports, risks, preferences, and people the participant wants involved.

Who to contact

Assigned supports coordinator or ACAP care-management route for the selected program.

Step by step

  1. Confirm the assigned supports coordinator and how to contact the organization.
  2. Prepare goals, needs, risks, preferences, and current supports for the planning meeting.
  3. Ask the coordinator to identify which assessments, plan sections, service decisions, and approvals remain open.

Expected next

A scheduled planning event and a documented list of remaining assessments, plan work, or approvals.

Save this proof

Coordinator contact, meeting invitation, attendees, drafts, assessment results, requested changes, and approved plan.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the coordination supervisor or responsible program office to confirm the next planning event and unresolved items.
