26 Tex. Admin. Code § 749.1301 - What are the requirements for a preliminary service plan?
(a) You must complete a preliminary service
plan that addresses the immediate needs of the child within 72 hours, such as
supervision requirements, enrolling the child in school or obtaining needed
medical care or clothing.
(b) In
addition, for a child receiving treatment services the preliminary service plan
must include:
(1) A description of the
child's immediate treatment and care needs;
(2) A description of the child's immediate,
educational, medical, and dental needs, including possible side effects of
medications or treatment prescribed to the child;
(3) A description of how you will meet the
child's needs, including any necessary increased supervision or follow-up
actions of possible side effects of medication or treatment provided to the
child;
(4) The identification of
any issues or concerns the child may have that could escalate a child's
behavior. Identification of a child's issues or concerns must serve to avoid
the use of unnecessary emergency behavior interventions with the child. Child
concerns may include issues with food, eye contact, physical touch, personal
property, or certain topics; and
(5) A designation of who will be responsible
for meeting each of the child's needs.
(c) The plan must be compatible with the
information included in the child's admission assessment.
(d) You must document the plan in the child's
record.
(e) You must inform each
professional service provider and caregiver working with a child about the
child's preliminary service plan.
(f) You must implement and follow the
preliminary service plan.
