Before you start

  • Assessment information, strengths, goals, preferences, communication, health and behavioral needs, current supports, risks, requested services, provider preferences, and backup plans.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above, the assigned DDCS case manager, a DDCS office, the county Service and Information Request line, or the exact contact on the controlling Planned Action Notice. Ask which unit owns the step.

Step by step

  1. Prepare goals, non-negotiables, risks, and questions.
  2. Review every paid service, amount, informal support, goal, provider choice, safeguard, owner, and backup plan.
  3. Obtain the plan and PAN and separately confirm provider selection and service start.

Expected next

A draft or completed PCSP, Plan Amendment, PAN, provider-selection step, or documented next event.

Save this proof

Assessment, drafts, meeting notes, PCSP, amendments, PAN, provider choice, and contacts.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Limits

The PCSP describes approved paid services and agreed informal supports; it does not itself prove provider acceptance, staffing, or an actual 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.
