Service Category: WTC RTS Assessment for Potential Modifications
Note: Requires Administrative Approval. WTC staff will review case notes to ensure Administrative Approval has been obtained for “Assessment for Potential Modifications” before issuing Authorization for the following services.
| Service Subcategory |
Services to be Provided |
| Assessment for Home Modifications |
This assessment is required for consumers who may need home modifications for the following:
- Entry and Exit to the residence (e.g., door opener or ramp)
- Access to bathroom facilities (e.g., roll-in shower)
- Access within the residence (e.g., stair lift to access bathroom)
See RSM 2, Section 1603 for further information. |
| Assessment - Clinical Pre-Driving - Adaptive Vehicle |
During the Clinical Pre-Driving Assessment an Occupational Therapist (OT) administers perceptual, motor and reaction assessments that help to predict an individual’s capability to drive, who may or may not require any vehicle adaptations.
(Also requires an Assessment - Behind-the-Wheel Adapted Driving Assessment (car or van)) |
| Behind-the-Wheel Adaptive Driving Assessment-Car |
During the evaluation the consumer is given a vision screening, brake reaction test, and 2-4 hours of “behind the wheel” evaluation. This is required with a Clinical Pre-Driving Assessment (see above). |
| Behind-the-Wheel Adaptive Driving Assessment-Van |
This will be added if the consumer needs an assessment in an adapted van as opposed to a car. The following questions/conditions will help to determine whether you need to include this assessment when drafting the service authorization:
- If your consumer uses a wheelchair and cannot transfer independently you will need this assessment.
- If your consumer uses a wheelchair and is able to transfer it is likely that you will not need this assessment. If the need to use the van becomes apparent in the middle of an assessment, RTS Supervisor will add this service to the service authorization and provide with the van assessment.
|
| Behind-the-Wheel Adaptive Driving Assessment-Van-Extended |
Additional time required for complex driving system assessments (hi-tech modifications). Original auth shall be amended up to a total of 8 hours. |
| Facilitation-Adaptive Driving Process |
