Ala. Admin. Code r. 580-5-30-.08 - Community Service Provision

The DDD's Regional Community Service offices, in conjunction with the appropriate 310 Entity and the individual's assigned support coordinator will assist qualified individuals, determined eligible for services by DDD, in locating, development, and/or administering services in accordance with the individual's specific assessed needs, goals, outcomes, choices, and preferences.

(1) Community services will be directed toward providing individuals and their families an array of supportive services and alternatives designed to avoid institutional care and promote independence and integration into the broader community environments. Individuals will be served in the least restrictive, most integrated setting appropriate to meet the individuals' needs as required by the American with Disabilities Act, Title II.

(2) For settings and services certified as HCBS waiver services, the DDD will promote and enforce all HCBS requirements, including the HCBS Settings Rule, 42 CFR § 441 . 301(c)(4)(5), and all federal requirements for person-centered planning.
