• Monitor and review progress, ensuring strategies are integrated consistently across environments (home, day program, community).
• Document all consultative activities in compliance with NC Innovations Waiver, MCO, and agency requirements.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary team members (nursing, occupational therapy, speech therapy, behavior specialists, case managers, etc.) to coordinate holistic support.
• Assist with the evaluation and recommendations for durable medical equipment (DME), adaptive seating, positioning systems, and mobility devices as appropriate.
• Participate in treatment team meetings, intake committee reviews, and care planning discussions as needed.
