To document community participation evidence and limits, report Nori's chosen activity, place, role, relationships, communication, transportation, cost, environmental access, supports, privacy, safety, raw counts, denominators, missingness, person-rated experience, alternatives, and design limits. Name the bounded action and reassessment trigger. Keep physical presence, attendance, service hours, task completion, and staff ratings separate from inclusion or belonging.

Lead with Nori's purpose

State the selected activity, role, relationships, desired experience, period, settings, contributors, consent route, privacy limits, and any immediate safety action.

Show evidence provenance

Present person report, access checks, communication, transport, cost, environmental conditions, support actions, partner response, health and safety information, corrections, and outcomes.

Separate pathways

Keep active, observational, social, contribution, break, exit, decline, unavailable, unresolved, partner-supported, and person-rated pathways distinct.

State alternatives and limits

Discuss selection effects, opportunity access, transport, cost, communication, partner behavior, relationship history, health, safety, observer effects, missing outcomes, and generalization.

Write a bounded action

Name the access or support change, qualified owner, evidence, implementation check, Nori's review route, and trigger for a new assessment.

Build Nori's community-participation evidence report

Create one versioned record for the recreation-center program. Include Nori's chosen activity, place, role, people, participation forms, communication, transportation, schedule, cost, environmental access, supports, partner response, privacy, health and safety routes, eligible opportunities, person-rated experience, invalidity, missingness, correction, action owner, and reassessment trigger. Store purpose-needed information with role-limited access. Pair every conclusion with author, source, date, activity and role version, access conditions, unit, denominator, missingness, person report, alternative explanations, and permitted next action.

Validate Nori's evidence

Reproduce 40 opportunities, six access failures, four missing outcomes, 30 interpretable, 15 active, six observation, five break or exit, four unresolved, and 20/26 workable resolved pathways.

Connect Nori's evidence to an action

The report links findings to transport, communication, role access, partner response, privacy, safety, or focused follow-up. Unresolved events retain an owner and age.

Work through Nori's example

Nori reviews 40 recreation opportunities. Six lack required access and four lack a usable outcome, leaving 30 interpretable events. Fifteen use active participation, six observation, five breaks or early exits, and four remain unresolved. Nori rates 20 of 26 resolved pathways workable. Preserve every planned and eligible opportunity, chosen participation form, access version, support, partner response, unavailable event, correction, unresolved item, and experience rating. This fictional example demonstrates one assessment control. It supplies no diagnosis, treatment effect, ADA result, Medicaid eligibility, HCBS compliance finding, safety clearance, coverage result, or outcome guarantee for Nori.

Address Nori's main interpretation risk

Reporting 21 active or observational successes would omit self-protective pathways and ten unavailable records. Calling 20 of 26 included would overstate a person-rated fit measure. Review selection, access, transport, cost, schedule, communication, environment, partner availability, role quality, relationships, privacy, health, safety, person priorities, missingness, and design strength separately. Attendance, duration, eye contact, calm appearance, task completion, unsupported independence, staff approval, or contact counts cannot establish participation, belonging, consent, safety, or quality.

Keep Nori's clinical scope explicit

For Nori's community-participation evidence report, the CASP public summary provides high-level ABA behavioral-health-treatment scope for autistic people. The current BACB Ethics Code addresses competence, client involvement, consent and assent when applicable, assessment, risk, data, documentation, confidentiality, and evaluation for covered people. The BACB outline is examination content. These sources do not establish a universal community goal, legal entitlement, funding, emergency authority, or permission to replace Nori's priorities with staff preference.

Protect communication across Nori's community route

ASHA's AAC portal says AAC users should always have access to their tools or devices. A 2026 systematic review of AAC research for autistic adults and children found heavy emphasis on requesting and variable study quality and generalization evidence. Nori's assessment should preserve communication during travel, arrival, participation, relationships, privacy, breaks, refusal, repair, pain, and emergencies rather than measuring only requests in a teaching session.

Keep Nori's participation person-directed

The federal Administration for Community Living describes consumer control through person-centered planning, supported decision-making, and accessible transportation, with individual preferences and needs driving community supports. This broad public framework supports asking what Nori values and which access conditions help. It is not an ABA protocol, payer rule, or promise that a particular resource exists.

Scope community-integration law for Nori

The Justice Department's community-integration page explains the ADA Title II integration mandate for state and local government disability services and the conditions described in Olmstead. Its effective-communication guidance covers relevant Title II and Title III duties and asks entities to consider communication nature, length, complexity, context, and usual method. Applicability, reasonable modification, fundamental alteration, and remedy questions require qualified legal or access review; Nori's clinical assessment cannot decide them.

Use CMS community sources within their program scope

CMS's HCBS community-integration FAQ discusses person-chosen interests, routines, relationships, transportation, natural supports, staffing, and annual plan review for Medicaid HCBS settings. The HCBS CAHPS survey page describes a cross-disability experience survey for adults in state Medicaid HCBS programs covering services, communication, choice, transportation, safety, inclusion, and empowerment. These sources offer useful constructs for Nori; they do not govern every ABA service or substitute for the exact state program, payer, measure manual, or individual plan.

Preserve Nori's urgent route

For danger or a medical emergency in the United States, SAMHSA directs people to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. The community-participation evidence report should identify current emergency, medical, crisis, protective, and mandated-reporting routes for the actual setting. Routine data collection, payer contact, supervisor approval, or a planned session should never delay immediate safety action.

Choose Nori's next bounded action

Nori reviews the summary, corrects attributed comments, and removes unnecessary private detail. Reassessment follows a material change or Nori's request. Record the qualified owner, evidence, effective date, activity and role version, access and support arrangement, privacy and safety route, implementation check, accessible explanation, disagreement or complaint path, and reassessment trigger. Preserve earlier evidence when the context changes.

Close Nori's assessment

Review the community-participation evidence report with Nori, the qualified clinician, chosen supporters, community partners, access owners, and specialists named in the manifest. Confirm that chosen participation, physical presence, communication, access, support, partner behavior, clinical judgment, legal or payer action, safety, and person-rated experience remain distinct; every denominator is reproducible; AAC, privacy, basic needs, prescribed care, refusal, break, and safe exit remain protected; urgent needs received action; and conclusions stay bounded to sampled opportunities. Keep this page draft and noindex until every required review is complete.
