Guidance §483.440(c)(2)
The facility must make every effort to coordinate the Individual Education Plan (IEP) from the
school or the client’s program plan from outside program, work site or workshop with the IPP.
This may result in a single document, but there is no requirement for a single combined
document. There must be evidence that all applicable plans were coordinated (evidence of
discussion across the plans and observation would confirm integration of the IPP across the
various settings). The QIDP is responsible for the coordination of the plans.
The facility should communicate changes in the IPP or in the clients’ life situation with teachers
and workplace representatives either directly or through written communication.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
