Personalized Supports Initiative
On January 31, 2010 a new regulatory amendment will take effect expanding the current Community Living BC (CLBC) eligibility criteria. The change creates a new set of criteria and focuses on a different group of adults with support needs. The Personalized Supports Initiative (PSI) uses a comprehensive approach that assesses issues of significant limitations in adaptive functioning.
Adults with both significant limitations in adaptive functioning and either a diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) or a diagnosis of a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), will be eligible to receive services through CLBC through the PSI.
