Northern Virginia Training Center is committed to providing "active treatment" to its developmentally disabled clients.
Active treatment is defined as treatment which:
- requires the furnishing of health-related and habilitative services;
- requires the client's regular participation in a program of service enabling the individual to achieve maximum potential through increased independence, productivity, and integration into the community;
- is specified within an individual written habilitation plan which:
- is developed by an Interdisciplinary Team of professionals, the client, and where appropriate the individual's parents, guardian, or other representative;
- is based on a comprehensive assessment of the client's health, behavioral, therapeutic, and comprehensive habilitation service needs, including consideration of independent living skills, receptive and expressive communication skills, cognitive learning, mobility, self-direction, socialization skills, leisure skills, vocation and work skills, and use of integrated community services.
