TX HHS Form 2260. LIDDA Permanency Planning Instrument (PPI) for Children Younger Than 22 Years. Family Directed Plan

The Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) LIDDA Permanency Planning Instrument (PPI) for Children Younger Than 22 Years is a crucial tool for ensuring the well-being of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This form helps solve the problem of creating a personalized plan for each child, taking into account their unique needs, personality characteristics, and behaviors.

The PPI is typically used in situations where a child's permanency planning is necessary, such as during the initial review or six-month review process. The form requires identifying information about the child, including their name, date of birth, and Medicaid number or client ID. Additionally, it asks for information about the family or legally authorized representative (LAR), including their contact details and mailing address.

The PPI also includes sections on the person's personality characteristics, attributes, likes, dislikes, behavior, and reactions to others. This helps create a comprehensive understanding of the child's needs and allows for the development of an effective plan. Key features of the form include the requirement to describe the person without using jargon or technical terms, as well as the need to specify any sensory impairments or related conditions diagnosed by a licensed physician.
