TX HHS Form 1053. Local Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Authorities (LIDDA) Transition Plan

The Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) Form 1053, Local Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Authorities (LIDDA) Transition Plan, is a crucial document used to facilitate the transition of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities from institutional settings to community-based programs. This form serves as a comprehensive guide for LIDDAs to develop personalized transition plans that ensure a smooth and successful relocation.

The Form 1053 requires the identification of essential supports necessary for an individual's successful transition into the community. These supports include architectural modifications, durable medical equipment, in-home health services, medical services, and personal assistance with daily living activities. The form also emphasizes the importance of enhanced community coordination (ECC) throughout the transition process, ensuring that all necessary arrangements are made to support the individual's needs.

This document is designed for use by Local Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Authorities (LIDDAs) in Texas, as well as other stakeholders involved in the transition process. The Form 1053 provides a structured framework for LIDDAs to develop and implement effective transition plans that promote independence, self-determination, and community integration for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
