INSTRUCTIONS FOR AR1000RC5
A developmental disability is a disability which:
(A) (i) Is attributable to intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, Down syndrome, or spina bifida; or
(ii) Is attributable to any other condition found to be closely related to intellectual disability because it results in an
impairment of general intellectual functioning or adaptive behavior similar to that of persons with intellectual dis-
abilities or requires treatment and services similar to those required for such persons; or
(iii) Is attributable to dyslexia resulting from a disability described in (A)(i) of this section; and
(B) Originates before the person attains the age of twenty-two (22) years; and
(C) Has continued or can be expected to continue indefinitely; and
(D) Constitutes a substantial impairment to the person’s ability to function without appropriate support services including,
but not limited to, planned recreational activities, medical services such as physical therapy and speech therapy, and
possibilities for sheltered employment or job training.
DIAGNOSED DISABILITY:
1. Intellectual disability: Individuals are eligible for services if their I.Q. scores fall two or more standard deviations
below the mean of a standardized test or their condition is closely related to intellectual disability by virtue of their
adaptive behavior function and the nature of the treatment and services they require. You must enter the I.Q.
score or check the intellectual disability level in the space provided on the front of the form.
NOTE: The individual must have been eligible for admission into an intermediate care facility for individuals with
developmental disabilities (ICF/MR). To meet ICF/MR level of care, an individual must have had substantial func-
tional limitation in three or more of the following areas of major life activity:
A) Self Care: Ability to care for one’s own toileting, grooming, dressing, and eating needs.
B) Understanding and Use of Language: Ability to communicate needs and responses to others using a formal
speech system.
C) Learning: Ability to process information, retain it, and apply it to different situations as appropriate to the individual’s
age level.
D) Mobility: Ability to move self from place to place either by walking or propelling adaptive equipment.
E) Self-Direction: Ability to make appropriate decisions regarding time, travel, finances, and health.
F) Capacity for Independent Living: Ability to cook, shop, clean, and otherwise maintain self in an independent
living situation.
2. Cerebral Palsy: As established by the results of a medical examination by a licensed physician.
3. Epilepsy: As established by the results of a neurological examination by a licensed neurologist and/or licensed
physician.
4. Autism: As established by the results of a team evaluation by a licensed physician and a licensed psychologist or
psychological examiner.
5.
Down Syndrome: As established by the results of a medical examination by a licensed physician.
Spina Bifida: As established by the results of a medical examination by a licensed physician.
6.
Check the appropriate box of the developmental disability, and list the I.Q. score (if required) in the space
provided on the AR1000RC5.
NOTE: Any of these six conditions, independent of each other, is sufficient for determination of
eligibility. This means a person who has been diagnosed with an intellectual disability does not have to have autism,
epilepsy, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome or spina bifida. Conversely, a person who has autism, cerebral palsy, Down
syndrome, spina bifida, or epilepsy does not have to have intellectual disabilities to be eligible.
