  • ensuring the SPT uses the relocation assessment and evaluation, other assessments (e.g., medical and behavioral), and the latest Form 1054, Community Living Options, to guide the development of Form 1053;
  • documenting the SPT discussions and decisions in a progress note;
  • developing and revising the Transition Plan per Section 6300, Developing and Revising the Transition Plan; and
