This regulation governs individualized residential service planning for children enrolled in Community Residential Rehabilitation Services (CRRS) programs in Pennsylvania. It requires CRRS staff to develop a written service plan with the child, parents, and any custodial agency, addressing areas such as self-care, health care, interpersonal skills, and community participation. The plan must include short- and long-term goals, and each child must be assigned a primary staff person to coordinate the residential service plan with other involved agencies. This section supersedes corresponding provisions in the general residential service plan requirements (§ 5310.33) for CRRS programs serving children.
