§ 51.5-52. Local interagency services teams
In order to provide comprehensive services within a continuum of care, local agencies providing services to persons with physical and sensory disabilities may convene a local interagency services team to respond to the needs of individual consumers who require extensive coordination of services. Membership on the teams shall reflect the needs of the individual consumer and may include but shall not be limited to: representatives from the Department of Rehabilitative Services, the Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired, the Department for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing, community services boards, and local social services departments, health departments, and school divisions. When established, interagency services teams shall be responsible for conducting an assessment process across agencies to identify the strengths and needs of individual consumers, developing a rehabilitation plan, and integrating the array of required services. Interagency services teams shall report to the consumer's assigned case manager or counselor, as appropriate.
