When can services be terminated after an individual is accepted for them?

The correct answer is that services can be terminated by voluntary withdrawal of the individual or by recommendation from the interdisciplinary process. This is because individuals have the right to participate actively in decisions about their services, including the choice to withdraw if they feel those services are no longer beneficial to them. Additionally, the interdisciplinary team, made up of professionals collaborating on an individual’s care, can assess and recommend the continuation or cessation of services based on the individual's evolving needs and circumstances.

The emphasis on both individual choice and expert recommendation reflects a person-centered approach, ensuring that the individual's preferences and well-being are prioritized in service delivery. This aligns with the core principles of respect and empowerment within the CILA framework, where individuals are treated as active participants in their care.

In contrast, terminating services automatically after a year does not account for individual circumstances or needs that may change over time, and deciding to terminate services solely based on an agency's discretion disregards the individual's rights. Similarly, conducting a review meeting every six months could fail to address urgent needs or changes in circumstances unless combined with an individual's input and assessment from the interdisciplinary team.
