Out & About Information

NEW PARTICIPANTS: Out & About's registration process is a multi-step process which starts with the family/provider completing a Participant Information Form (PIF). The PIF provides an opportunity to Out & About to learn about the participant's abilities (i.e. communication, mobility), medical and diagnostic background (i.e. g-tube, autism), emergency information and goals. Once the completed PIF is received, a member of Out & About's Coordinating Team will contact the family/provider to complete a brief intake. The intake can be done over the phone or in-person and typically takes 15-30 minutes. The intake process allows Out & About to ask questions about the PIF, answer any questions you may have and ensure that Out & About can meet the participant's needs and is a positive fit for the individual. Once Out & About has determined a positive fit for the participant, a Therapeutic Plan is composed and shared with Out &About Instructors who will work with the participant out on shift. This step must be completed prior to joining our services. In the event that a participant uses a g-tube, oxygen or has seizures, Out & About requires a written protocol be provided prior to beginning services. Out & About's Catalog Coordinator will confirm that the intake process has been completed, ensure all necessary forms have been received, and establish a start date for services. The Participant Information Form is linked below in an electronic and printable format. Once the participant is registered, a confirmation letter or packet will be sent with detailed information regarding transportation and activities. Additional forms will be provided as necessary.
