"Special Hearts Day"

December 8th is

December 8th has officially been declared Special Hearts Day, for a IO-year period, in the State of Texas. It is a day to highlight our Texans with disabilities by celebrating their special abilities. Special Hearts Day pays tribute to the exemplary efforts of all "Special Hearts" and encourages communities throughout the state to promote and celebrate their Special Abilities. Developing and sharing the diverse abilities of individuals with special needs empowers our Special Hearts to connect with others, and, in turn, experiencing the unique gifts each person has to offer enables others to appreciate the remarkable contributions these extraordinary individuals make in their communities. Several local community contributors have joined forces to make the first ever Special Hearts Day celebration a week to remember. This special week will honor ALL Special Hearts with ALL Special Abilities including, but not limited to The Arts, Sports, Academics, Vocational Skills, Homemaking Skills, Volunteerism, Hobbies, Social Interaction Skills, Family Contributors, etc. Special Hearts in the Arts, a performing arts center for individuals with special needs, is spearheading the launch of Special Hearts Day on a state-wide level for the first time in 2023, right here in Corpus Christi. Special Hearts Day is a collective call to action for the local community as we inspire other locations across Texas to hold their own Special Hearts Day celebrations in the years to come!

Special Hearts in the Arts is so excited to be selected by AAFCC and TAMUCC as the nonprofit recipient of the 2023 ONE DAY service event!

ONE DAY is a public service event held by the American Advertising Federation - Corpus Christi Chapter and Graphic Design at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. ONE DAY brings together professional designers, creative directors, copywriters, media experts, and videographers to develop and implement the marketing strategy and advertising plans all in one day. The ONE DAY event is held annually to help a 501(c)3, not-for-profit organization with little or no marketing or advertising budget.

WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL!!!

Choice Living Community was founded in 2019 by Dr. Jennifer Scott, who saw a need for the center after working as a special education transition teacher. During her time as a teacher, she worked with parents to find their adults a quality place to attend during the day. We are founded on the basis that all adults living with disabilities deserve a structured place to attend during the day. At Choice Living Community, we believe that the Individual Education Plan (IEP) needs to be carried into adult life. We provide that individualized approach by developing an Individualized Care Plan (ICP) for each client.

Peer support is very popular these days but parent-to-parent programs have been using peer support since the 1970's. Sharing experiences with other parents is the key to what Texas Parent to Parent (TxP2P) does and has been proven to help families. Our services and programs are all family-centered in order to provide support, information, and education to as many families as we can.

The Texas Parent to Parent staff are parents of children with disabilities, chronic illness, or special health care needs. We have also spoken to thousands of families over the years. We are here to help - give us a call at 866-896-6001 or 512-458-8600.

Program Spotlight

TxP2P Care Notebook - A Care Notebook is an organizing tool that is particularly useful for parents. Use it to keep track of important information about your child's health care, education, or transition.

Medical Home Toolkit- A medical home is not a building, house, hospital, or home healthcare service, but rather a family-centered approach to providing comprehensive primary care. The Medical Home Toolkit explains what a medical home is and how to get one.

TxP2P is funded by Texas Department of State Health Services' Children with Special Health Care Needs Program Contract, Federal Maternal Child Health Bureau Family to Family Health Information Center Grant, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, and private grants and donations.

Please check out these two websites

TxP2P helped with both of these sites, and we feel they can be very helpful to a new parent or a parent new to an issue around their child. We especially recommend looking at the videos:

Keeping It Simple...

M'agine Support Services provides you with a fresh alternative for your HCS or Texas Home Living needs. While we may not be the biggest provider in the area, we make up for it in our quality staff, increased program monitoring, and that personal touch to your individual needs.

Our Core Values...

We believe that these basic principles apply whether you are teaching people to tie their shoes or brush their teeth.

We have a knowledgeable and caring staff, with educational and professional experience in serving individuals with developmental disabilities, who individualize a Person-Directed Plan, designed to meet YOUR needs.

With input from you, your family, and other caring professionals, M'agine Support Services will assist in coordinating support services that are intended to support you in your chosen environment and meet your individual needs.

Medical evidence already in your possession [more info]. This includes medical records, doctors' reports, and recent test results; and

Award letters, pay stubs, settlement agreements or other proof of any temporary or permanent workers' compensation-type benefits you received [more info].

Important

We accept photocopies of W-2 forms, self-employment tax returns or medical documents, but we must see the original of most other documents, such as your birth certificate. (We will return them to you.)

Do not delay applying for benefits because you do not have all the documents. We will help you get them.

Mailing Your Documents

If you mail any documents to us, you must include the Social Security number so that we can match them with the correct application. Do not write anything on the original documents. Please write the Social Security number on a separate sheet of paper and include it in the mailing envelope along with the documents.

If you do not want to mail these documents, you may bring them to a Social Security office. Do not mail foreign birth records or any documents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), especially those you are required to keep with you at all times. These documents are extremely difficult, time-consuming and expensive to replace if lost. Some cannot be replaced. Instead, bring them to a Social Security office where we will examine them and return them to you.

The purpose of a Medicaid Waiver is to prevent institutionalization by providing community-based care options.

Texas has 7 Waivers created through the Social Security Act section 1915(c):

Each of these Medicaid Waivers was designed to address a different category of disabilities, and the way the services are managed is different.

CLASS is the most flexible of the Medicaid Waivers.

The service array includes accommodates for both physical and intellectual disabilities, including lots of adaptive aid categories, specialized therapies with mental and physical benefits (music therapy, massage therapy, aquatic therapy, recreational therapy, therapeutic horseback, and hippotherapy), along with both PAS/Hab (Personal Assistance Services) and Respite (relief for natural supports).

The providers are all non-governmental, so you have many choices for both Case Management Agencies and Direct Service Providers (home health agencies).

There are no age limits for CLASS

HCS is the most well known of the Medicaid Waivers.

The service array is designed around individuals with IDD (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities). The most unique feature of HCS is the 3 options available for daily support: 1. Group Home living with daily or hourly care; 2. Host Home care with a daily rate; 3. PAS/Hab (Personal Assistance Services) that can only be provided by someone who does not live in the same home.

The 3 biggest drawbacks to HCS are:

1. People who live with the individual can only receive a daily rate for Host Home; they cannot provide any paid support as part of the PAS/Hab team.

2. Host Home rate is determined by a Level of Need tool vs a PAS/Hab assessment.

3. The HCS Providers are non-governmental with lots of choices; but the HCS Service Coordination was assigned to the LIDDA (local IDD authority) based on your county and there is no alternative when they are not helpful.

There are no age limits for HCS

TxHmL is a mini-HCS, with lower funding limits and no Medicaid-access provision.

The service array is designed around individuals with IDD (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities). TxHmL provides selected essential services and supports to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who live in their family homes or their own homes. TxHML has 2 options available for daily support: 1. Host Home care with a daily rate; 2. PAS/Hab (Personal Assistance Services) that can only be provided by someone who does not live in the same home.

The 3 biggest drawbacks to TxHmL are:

1. People who live with the individual can only receive a daily rate for Host Home; they cannot provide any paid support as part of the PAS/Hab team.

2. Host Home rate is determined by a Level of Need tool vs a PAS/Hab assessment.

3. The TxHmL Providers are non-governmental with lots of choices; but the TxHmL Service Coordination was assigned to the LIDDA (local IDD authority) based on your county and there is no alternative when they are not helpful.

There are no age limits for TxHmL, but you must already have Medicaid to accept the spot.

MDCP is an amazing short-term options.

The service array is designed to support a family caring for a child with high medical needs. It includes an option for respite to be provide by an unskilled person or a nurse.

It ends at age 21. If the nursing needs remain, the individual should be transitioned to the Star+Plus HCBS Waiver.

MDCP is managed completely by the StarKids Managed Care Organization you select. You can select from subcontracted home health or Financial Management Service Agencies they have contracts with.

MDCP age limits are 0-20

SPW (Star+Plus HCBS Waiver) is an alternative for adults who need Nursing Home care.

The service array is designed to accommodate medical needs.

It starts at age 21 and does not have a waiting list for individuals who are on Star+Plus Medicaid.

MDCP is managed completely by the StarKids Managed Care Organization you select. You can select from subcontracted home health or Financial Management Service Agencies they have contracts with.

SPW age limit is 21+ years old

DBMD focuses on increasing opportunities for consumers to communicate and interact with their environment.
There are no age limits for DBMD

YES is the newest waiver and the only one focused mental illness.

YES services are family-centered, coordinated and effective at preventing out-of-home placement and promoting lifelong independence and self-defined success.

YES Service Coordination is proved by the local mental health authority.

YES age limits are 3-18 years old

Senate Bill 7 from the 2013 Texas Legislature requires the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to put in place a cost-effective option for attendant and habilitation services for people with disabilities who have STAR+PLUS Medicaid coverage.

A federal option, called Community First Choice, allows states to provide home and community-based attendant services and supports to Medicaid recipients with disabilities. This option provides states with a 6 percent increase in federal matching funds for Medicaid for these services.

Who can get Community First Choice services?

To be eligible for Community First Choice services an individual must:

Be eligible for Medicaid.

Need help with activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing and eating.

Need an institutional level of care.

Community First Choice Services

Community First Choice Services include:

Help with activities of daily living and health-related tasks through hands-on assistance, supervision or cueing.

Services to help the individual learn how to care for themselves.

Backup systems or ways to ensure continuity of services and supports.

Training on how to select, manage and dismiss attendants.

Texas began the Community First Choice program on June 1, 2015. This means:

Individuals on a 1915(c) waiver interest list who meet eligibility and coverage requirements may be eligible to get Community First Choice services.

Individuals already getting services through a 1915(c) waiver will continue to get those services as they do today from their existing providers.

STAR+PLUS and STAR Health Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) are required to extend a contract to the significant traditional providers (STPs) that provide services in the Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS), Home and Community-based Services (HCS), Texas Home Living (TxHmL), and the Deaf Blind with Multiple Disabilities (DBMD) waiver programs. For the purposes of CFC, STPs are those active providers who had expenditures (paid claims) for services delivered in the waiver programs from September 1, 2013 through February 6, 2015.

The MCOs listed below are in the process of extending contracts to all that have been identified as STPs. The MCOs contracts with STP providers must align with the Health and Human Services (HHS) waiver contract areas. Therefore, STP providers contracted with an MCO will only be able to provide services in the counties that are reflected in their HHS contracts. If you are a waiver provider listed above and you have not been contacted by an MCO in your service area, use the numbers listed below to call the plans:

If you are a provider that currently has a contract with one of the MCOs listed and you want to provide CFC services, call the plan to discuss whether you'll need a contract amendment to deliver those services.

Senate Bill 7 from the 2013 Texas Legislature requires the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to put in place a cost-effective option for attendant and habilitation services for people with disabilities who have STAR+PLUS Medicaid coverage. A federal option, called Community First Choice, allows states to provide home and community-based attendant services and supports to Medicaid recipients with disabilities.

About Our ABA Therapy Services

Our ABA clinic, located in Corpus Christi, TX, offers various autism treatment programs that meet the individual needs of you or your child. Our 1:1 treatment model ensures you will get the time and attention needed to achieve your goals.

Full-Time Day Program

Our full-time ABA therapy program helps to improve child independence, while also helping them develop the key functional skills needed to transition to a traditional academic classroom when ready. Our full-time program is designed for both children and adolescents.

Part-Time Focused Intervention

Our part-time ABA program is designed for individuals who need to work on a limited set of skills or behaviors. This focused intervention is for patients of all ages and is recommended after completing a more comprehensive ABA program, or after meeting defined goals.

Feeding Therapy

Our ABA feeding therapy program focuses on mealtime behaviors such as picky eating and restaurant etiquette. Our Board Certified Behavioral Analysts (BCBAs) work directly with parents on integrating effective feeding strategies that will improve the mealtime experience.

Toilet Training

Led by an experienced BCBA, our toilet training program provides parents with the tools needed to foster bathroom independence in their children. A professional autism spectrum disorder diagnosis is not required to enroll in this program.

Virtual Therapy

Our online ABA therapy is the perfect solution for those who are unable to attend sessions at our Balcones Heights ABA center. A Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) will assist in implementing ABA strategies with you in the home, while our BCBA provides supervision and support through a video call.

Diagnostic Evaluations

Early intervention for autism plays an important role in treatment success and having a professional autism diagnosis can help determine the appropriate services. Empower Behavioral Health's Licensed Psychologist provides autism evaluations for individuals of all ages in Corpus Christi.

Our autism evaluation services include:

Autism evaluations

Neurodevelopmental evaluations

Mental health evaluations

Trauma evaluations

Does Insurance Pay for ABA Therapy?

Your insurance company may cover all or a portion of ABA therapy due to Texas laws requiring coverage for those with a professional ASD diagnosis. Empower Behavioral Health is in-network with a majority of health insurance companies. As a part of our intake process, we will confirm coverage and walk through your benefits prior to beginning in-home treatment.

What Makes Empower Behavioral Health Different?

Empower Behavioral Health was founded with the mission to empower those with autism and their families through quality treatment. By supporting individuals with autism, we know they are capable of reaching their full potential now, and in the future. Our team is dedicated to putting people first, doing what's right, and collaborating with you to reach a shared goal.

The Office of Accessibility Services strives to provide access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities. We also collaborate with students, faculty, and staff of the college community to create accessible and inclusive learning environments. Our goal is to increase awareness and acceptance of individuals with disabilities in support of CBC's mission of providing "educational and life-enriching opportunities" for all students.

Disability is defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as a "physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of such individual; a record of such an impairment; or being regarded as having such an impairment." Major life activities include, but are not limited to "functions such as caring for one's self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, working."

Students requesting accommodations should submit documentation that establishes a disability, details the disability's current functional impact, confirms the need for each requested accommodation, and establishes a direct link between the underlying disability and the requested accommodation. Although documentation should be from the last three to five years, OAS will accept older documentation for permanent or stable conditions based on professional judgment and discretion.

The documentation should be prepared by a licensed or credentialed professional with expertise in the condition being evaluated. They must have relevant training and experience and have no relation to you. On letterhead, the documentation must be typed, dated, and signed. Additionally, the documentation must contain a diagnostic statement identifying the disability, a description of the diagnostic methodology, and a description of any current functional limitations associated with your condition (i.e. severity, frequency, pervasiveness of the condition).

Guidelines/Tips for Submitting Documentation for Eligibility

- A specific diagnosis, including the level of severity and duration

- The specific findings in support of the diagnosis, such as relevant history, tests administered, test results, and interpretation of test results
- A description of the student's functional limitations (symptoms) as they directly relate to the stated disabilities and impact academic performance
- Specific recommendations for reasonable accommodations (such as note-takers, extended testing time, adaptive technology, etc.) necessary for equal access in the academic environment

- If students with disabilities attempt a class without requesting accommodations, they cannot, unless given special approval by the professor, ask to have accommodations applied to previous coursework, exams, or quizzes.

Check your CBC Email for your Accommodation Status

Once your have been approved to receive accommodations, you will receive an official notice with your accommodations and all of your instructors will receive your approved accommodations too. Nodisability information is shared with instructors. You must log in with your CBC Office365 account to access your approved accommodation notice. If you need any assistance, please contact the IT Department at (361) 354-2522. Each semester, OAS communicates approved accommodations to students and teachers for each of their courses. It is the responsibility of the student to discuss accommodations with their instructors. Students are encouraged to notify instructors within the first week of the semester. While students may discuss their accommodations with their instructors, they are never required to disclose their diagnosis to anyone other than the OAS.

Determining reasonable and appropriate accommodations is based on documentation submitted as well as any discussion with the student. The student and the Director of Accessibility Services will determine appropriate accommodations for courses. Documentation becomes part of students' educational records and is protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Complete the Online CBC Accommodations Renewal form. Students receiving services from OAS are encouraged to meet with the Director of Accessibility Services at least Step 1:
two times a semester. The renewal form is required so OAS staff can review your accommodations and determine if any revisions need to be made. We care about your success and what to ensure that we meet with you regularly to provide support.
Step 2: Check CBC Email for your Accommodation Status

Note: OAS will create and maintain an electronic file for students receiving services for up to 5 years.

Below is a variety of websites and technology that can assist individuals with disabilities. We are not endorsing any product, and we are merely sharing available resources. We encourage you to research all options based on diagnosis and recommended accommodations.

The Parks and Recreation Department is dedicated to creating a sense of community for Portland residents. We strive to enhance the quality of life here by offering diverse recreational programs, unique parks, and memorable special events.

Christmas is Around the Corner

The 5th annual Christmas on the Coast is fast approaching! Christmas on the Coast is a month-long celebration of the holidays with family-friendly events, a real ice-skating rink, concerts, Trail of Lights & more. Start marking the calendar so you don't miss the fun!

Activities begin Monday, November 27. Visit the Portland Community Center to vote for your favorite tree in the Christmas Tree Forest & maybe bring a new, unwrapped toy for the Toy Drive. Both of these activities benefit families in need in our community. The GLOW Portland home decoration competition entry opens, too! Entries will also be added to a Trail of Lights for all to enjoy throughout the holiday season.

Events begin Saturday, December 2! Start off the morning at the special Holiday Farmers Market to find unique Christmas gifts &/or enjoy Breakfast with Santa at the Community Center. Pet parents also have the opportunity to have your fur child's picture taken with Santa at Pooch-A-Palooza at the Farmer Market. That evening, join us for the Portland Tree Lighting Ceremony & opening of the real ice-skating rink. The City Complex will be lit with beautiful lights and picture-perfect Christmas decorations. It'll be a day to remember!

The following weekend is the City's signature Christmas in Portland festival on Saturday, December 9. The Portland Community Center will transform into a winter wonderland featuring pictures with Santa, crafts, letters to Santa, games, market vendors and more. The Aquatic Center parking lot will also be full of fun for all ages featuring ice-skating and snow!

The fun continues the next weekend, December 16, with the 2nd annual Illuminated Tinsel Trot 5k. The Tinsel Trot will feature various race levels and friendly competition for all ages. It'll be dark out, so start assembling your lighted running gear. After the races, Texas country artist, Kevin Fowler, will perform in the Aquatic Center parking lot! Thank you to the Tinsel Trot + Concert sponsor, Al Willeford Chevrolet.

M'agine Support Services is a Home and Community Based Services (HCS) and Texas Home Living Services (TxHml), provider. We are a state-certified and licensed agency that has been serving the children and adults of Corpus Christi and Brownsville since 2003.

Our philosophy is straightforward: People with developmental disabilities may learn some things more slowly than people without disabilities. Therefore, repeated opportunities over time for teaching, learning, and practicing are vital.

Teach the same thing, in the same way, every time, even if the teachers are different.

Explain, Explain, Explain - Explain it to them and have them explain it to you. People need to understand why they are being taught to do something.

Keeping It Simple...

M'agine Support Services provides you with a fresh alternative for your HCS or Texas Home Living needs. While we may not be the biggest provider in the area, we make up for it in our quality staff, increased program monitoring, and that personal touch to your individual needs.

Our Core Values...

We believe that these basic principles apply whether you are teaching people to tie their shoes or brush their teeth.

We have a knowledgeable and caring staff, with educational and professional experience in serving individuals with developmental disabilities, who individualize a Person-Directed Plan, designed to meet YOUR needs.

With input from you, your family, and other caring professionals, M'agine Support Services will assist in coordinating support services that are intended to support you in your chosen environment and meet your individual needs.

Don't forget to ask about our day habilitation program: Out-N-About Day Training.

The CCRTA is happy to work within its community to solve the transportation needs of the people. The CCRTA must comply with all federal and local regulations. Some of the regulations pertain to charter movements and the CCRTA must follow the Federal Transit Administration (FTA)'s guidelines. Below you will find out information to see if your request is one that falls into the charter guidelines or is an exemption.

Process

A Request for Service form must be completed and emailed directly to Shannon Dial for processing. Once received the request will be reviewed to determine whether it is a Charter or whether it falls under one of the Exceptions. The RTA does not provide charter services.

FTA Regulations for Charter Services can be viewed here

Here is a list of the Exceptions in the FTA Regulations where RTA can provide service (detailed list attached):

Subpart B-Exceptions

604.6 Government officials on official government business - Letter required on company letterhead from a government official. (1 government official must ride the service)

604.7 Qualified Human Service Organization (QHSO)

604.8 Leasing FTA funded equipment and drivers

604.9 When no registered charter provider responds to notice from a recipient

NOTE: There is no actual portal. An email is sent to the local companies that are registered with the FTA to provide these services.

Registered companies can be found here.

These companies have 14 days to respond. If any of the shuttle companies cannot pick up the shuttle request ( because the date and/or times are not available) then RTA can pick up the shuttle at an hourly rate of $123.02 per hour, per bus only if RTA is able.
Special Movements are provided for community events (see below for examples).
Example Community Events:

Beach to Bay

Texas Jazz Fest

Selena Festival

Dia de los Muertos

American Cancer Society Walk

NOTE: These services are performed because there is an existing route in the area(s). The route cannot deviate more than ¾ of a mile off route and the service is OPEN to the public.
According to 604.2, the requirements of this part shall not apply to a recipient (RTA), if

transporting its employees, other transit system employees, transit management officials, transit contractors and bidders, government officials and their contractors and official guests to or from transit facilities or projects within it geographic service area or proposed geographic service area for the purpose of conducting oversight functions such as inspection, evaluations or review

transporting its employees, other transit system employees, transit management officials, transit contractors and bidders, government officials and their contractors and official guests for emergency preparedness planning and operations
