How frequently must a Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional (QIDP) visit?

The requirement for a Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional (QIDP) to visit once a month aligns with the standards set forth in the CILA framework aimed at ensuring the health and well-being of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Monthly visits allow the QIDP to maintain consistent oversight of the individual's progress, evaluate their needs, and make necessary adjustments to their services and supports. Regular monthly interactions also facilitate the development of personalized care plans, ensure compliance with regulatory standards, and foster effective communication with the staff and families involved in the care of the individuals. This frequency strikes a balance between providing adequate support and not being so frequent that it overwhelms individuals or caregivers, promoting stability in the care environment.
