| 2380.181(e)(7) | Individual #1's Initial Individual Assessment, dated 07/11/2022, does not contain a description of the individual's knowledge of the danger of heat sources and ability to sense and move away quickly from heat sources. The assessment states that "[Individual #1] does not use appliances that would produce heat." This text does not inform the reader of the individual's knowledge of the danger of heat sources and ability to sense and move away from them quickly; it only describes the individual's current behavior around such heat sources. It is unclear if the individual's abstention from using appliances that produce heat is indicative of an underlying knowledge of danger and an ability to move away from heat or, for example, if it is merely the individual's preference not to use such appliances. It is also unclear how the individual would react to a dangerous heat source that is not an appliance but produces heat. | The assessment must include the following information: The individual¿s knowledge of the danger of heat sources and ability to sense and move away quickly from heat sources which exceed 120° F and are not insulated. | The Program Specialist was retrained on utilization of proper wording for assessments to ensure all areas of the assessment are completed properly and the reader can understand the knowledge of the danger of heat sources and ability to move away from heat sources. |
