It encompasses the verification of intellectual disabilities (including documentation of IQ ≤70 or similar developmental conditions), psychological evaluations, and comprehensive documentation required for regulatory purposes. b.

Acceptable Documentation •

Formal Assessments and Reports:

– Documentation must include results of standardized intelligence tests where the individual’s IQ is ≤70 or comparable evidence of a related developmental condition. – Acceptable forms of documentation include detailed psychological evaluation reports, diagnostic interviews, and standardized test scores from licensed professionals.

•

Medical Records:

– Reports from qualified physicians, psychologists, or developmental specialists outlining the diagnosis. – Historical records confirming long-term developmental delays or intellectual disabilities. • Educational and Psychological Evaluations: – Evaluations conducted in educational settings that confirm learning disabilities or cognitive impairments. – Accompanying reports should include recommendations for ongoing support services and a clear outline of functional deficits.

Verification Process:

•

Authenticity Check: Intake teams ensure that all documents provided are from recognized and licensed authorities such as state-certified psychologists, licensed physicians, or accredited testing institutions. • Date Verification: Ensure that evaluations are recent enough to reflect the current condition, generally within the past three years, unless special circumstances indicate the need for historical data.
