Initial Screening

Within 24-48 hours of receiving a referral, a Program Manager or designee will conduct a telephone screening interview with the referring party.

The screening interview will address the following key areas:

Eligibility

Determining if the referred individual meets our program criteria for service enrollment and further assessment.

Collaborative Goals

Identifying shared goals for the client, family, funding sources, and the referring agency is crucial.

Financial Considerations

Conducting a preliminary assessment of potential funding availability to ensure alignment with service costs.

Next Steps

Following the initial screening, a determination will be made regarding the appropriateness of proceeding to Step 2 involving a more in-depth assessment.

Step 2
Intake Evaluation + Assessment

Following a successful initial screening, qualified individuals will be scheduled for an in-depth intake evaluation and assessment conducted by our assigned staff.

Scheduling & Preparation

  • Intake evaluations typically occur within 2-3 business days after initial screening approval.
  • To facilitate a comprehensive evaluation, authorizations for information exchange will be obtained from the referred individual or legal guardian. This allows us to gather relevant medical records and reports.

Evaluation Components

  • A thorough review of available medical and treatment records.
  • Interviews with key stakeholders, including the referred individual, rehabilitation professionals, family members, funding representatives, and the referring agency.
  • An informal assessment of cognitive skills and behaviors observed in the individual’s current environment.

Objectives of the Evaluation

  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s current medical, cognitive, behavioral, and psychosocial functioning and needs.
  • Assess their level of independence in daily living and work activities.
  • Clarify and verify information obtained from previous reports.
  • Gather pre-injury details (if available) to establish a comprehensive background.
  • Collaboratively set goals and identify priority areas where services can make the most significant impact.
  • Align expectations of the individual, family, referring party, and funding source.
  • Educate all involved parties about the benefits and limitations of Cognilive services.
  • Gather information and preferences regarding staff compatibility and living environment suitability.

Next Steps

This in-depth evaluation allows us to transition to Step 3, which is to develop a personalized service plan tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals.
