department or agency responsible for the supervision of the case

shall provide a recommendation, based upon the comprehensive

assessment and evaluation process, for disposition to the court and

counsel. The recommendation shall include, but not be limited to,

the child's eligibility for probation, placement in community

residential treatment, or commitment with the Office of Juvenile

Affairs.

B. If the recommendation is for probation, an individual

treatment and service plan shall be provided to the court and

counsel for the parties at the same time as the recommendation

responsible for the supervision of the case or by the legal

custodian if the child has been removed from the custody of his or

her lawful parent or parents. The treatment and service plan shall

be based on a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the child

and family that identifies the priority needs of the child for

rehabilitation and treatment and identifies any needs of the parent

or legal guardian of the child for services that would improve their

ability to provide adequate support, guidance, and supervision of

the child. This process should take into account the detention risk

assessment decision, the intake preliminary assessment, any

comprehensive assessment for substance abuse treatment services,

behavioral health services, intellectual disabilities, literary

services, and other educational and treatment services as

components. The completed assessment process shall result in an

individual treatment and service plan which shall include, but not

be limited to:

1. A history of the child and family, including identification

of the problems leading to the adjudication;

2. The eligibility of the child for disposition of probation,

placement in community residential treatment, commitment with the

legal guardian, legal custodian, stepparent, other adult person

supervision of the child;

5. Performance criteria that will measure the progress of the

child and family toward completion of the treatment and service

plan;

6. A projected date for the completion of the treatment and

service plan; and

7. The name and business address of the attorney representing

the child, if any.

C. The Office of Juvenile Affairs shall identify the

appropriate risk and needs assessment instruments used to develop

the recommendations of the individualized treatment and service

plan. The juvenile probation counselor shall be responsible for

making informed decisions and recommendations to other agencies, the

district attorney, and the courts so that the child and family of

the child may receive the least restrictive service alternative

throughout the court process.

as necessary and appropriate to reflect the disposition of the
