Timeline for Assessment Upon receipt of the completed Referral for Behavioral Health Services form (DMCC 100A), the DMCC will contact the parent/guardian by letter (up to three times) to schedule the assessment intake meeting. An intervention specialist or behavioral health counselor will be assigned to conduct the assessment. If no response from the parent/guardian is received by the third letter, the referral will be closed.
Timeline for Services If services are not deemed appropriate, the referral will be closed.
If services are deemed appropriate, a clinician will be assigned and services will begin. The DMCC provides a monthly report to the directors of special education. The report includes a list of students who are currently served by the DMCC as well as an update for each referral that is in process.
