PART 1388_THE UNIVERSITY AFFILIATED PROGRAMS--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  1388.2  Program criteria--purpose.



    The program criteria will be used to assess the quality of the 

University Affiliated Programs (UAP). The overall purpose of the program 

criteria is to assure the promotion of independence, productivity, 

integration and inclusion of individuals with developmental 

disabilities. Compliance with the program criteria is a prerequisite for 

a UAP to receive the minimum funding level of a UAP. However, compliance 

with the program criteria does not, by itself, assure funding. The 

Program Criteria are one part of the Quality Enhancement System (QES), 

and provide a structure for self-assessment and peer review of each UAP. 

(The QES is a holistic approach to enable persons with developmental 

disabilities and their families to achieve maximum potential. All UAPs 

use the QES.)
