Section 700.2367 - What are the characteristics of a child that needs the Intense Plus Service Level?(a) The Intense Plus Service Level is designed to address chronically serious to severe emotional and/or behavioral management problems that interfere with the child's ability to function in a family, school, or community setting outside of a therapeutic environment. Children at the Intense Plus Service Level do not generally function socially in an appropriate manner, and the child's emotional functioning is largely incongruent with chronological age. At this level, children frequently have serious to severe outbursts that make it difficult for them to participate in routines or accept responsibility for behavior. (b) Children at the Intense Plus Service Level display: (1) all of the characteristics of the Intense Service Level as described in § 700.2363 of this title (relating to What are the characteristics of a child that needs the Intense Service Level?); and (2) a history of poor or inconsistent response to treatment as well as attempted multiple, unsuccessful interventions that have resulted in no remission of symptoms; or (3) characteristics and history that make successful treatment at a lower service level unsuccessful, such as: (A) extreme and recurring episodes of physical aggression that causes harm; (B) extreme and recurring episodes of sexually aggressive behavior; (C) chronic runaway behaviors, including any exposure to or risk of human trafficking; (D) certain medical conditions such as diabetes requiring injections or dialysis; and (E) other characteristics specified by the contract.40 Tex.
