Before you start

  • Transition and eligibility records, assessments, communication, strengths, goals, employment, community and living preferences, health and behavior needs, risks, services, transportation, natural supports, safeguards, and backups.

Who to contact

Use the official DSPD intake or waiting-list worker, transition worker, support coordinator, Utah Medicaid or DWS, provider, crisis, or protective-report route that owns this step.

Use the statewide DSPD application and intake route

Step by step

  1. Prepare the person's goals, choices, non-negotiables, risks, and questions.
  2. Review every assessed need, outcome, service, amount, owner, setting, safeguard, and backup.
  3. Obtain the completed plan and separately confirm budget, authorization, provider or worker readiness, schedule, and start.

Expected next

A planning meeting, draft or final plan, revision, service request, budget or authorization step, or written next event.

Save this proof

Assessments, notes, drafts and final plan, requests, budgets, authorizations, and contacts.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the support coordinator which assessed need, plan element, service request, budget, or authorization remains open.

Limits

A person-centered plan does not itself establish funding, a person-centered budget amount, authorization, provider acceptance, worker qualification, fiscal readiness, schedule, 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.
