V. IDENTIFICATION

The CDC staff will identify, through completion of the BPT Form 1073, Notice and Request for Reasonable Accommodation, those inmates/parolees who require and/or request a reasonable accommodation at a parole proceeding. Completion of the BPT Form 1073 includes a review of all documents in the C-File which may identify a potential disability or need for an accommodation and an interview with the inmate/parolee.

All inmates received and parolees returned to CDC are screened and evaluated for disabilities, as well as medical and mental health needs during their Reception Center (RC) processing. In addition, the evaluation process is ongoing at mainline institutions. Documentation of these screenings/evaluations is contained in the inmate’s/parolee’s C-File. Therefore, the review of the file will assist the staff in identifying inmates with a potential need for a reasonable accommodation. Most recent pertinent source documents that may provide information for identifying inmates/parolees with disabilities include the following:

BPT Form 1073	Notice and Request for Reasonable Accommodation Identifies an inmate’s/parolee’s need and/or request for a reasonable accommodation at a parole proceeding.
CDC Form 128B	Chrono-General May be used to document results of the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE)1 Complete Battery Reading Score or the Grade Point Level (GPL), which identifies inmates/parolees who have tested at a reading level of 4.0 or lower.
CDC Form 128C	Chrono-Medical-Psychiatric-Dental Documents special concerns such as mental/physical limitations and/or health care needs related to the inmate’s/parolee’s disability. Documents the inmate’s/ parolee’s level of care in the Mental Health Services Delivery System (MHSDS).
CDC Form 128C-1 or CDC Form 128C-1A	Chrono-Reception Center Medical Clearance/Restriction Information Addresses special medical/dental/ psychological condition(s) identified while in the RC.
CDC Form 128C-2	Chrono-Recommendation for Adaptive Support Identifies inmate’s/parolee’s cognitive functioning level and, if necessary, the level of adaptive services required under the Clark Remedial Plan.
CDC Form 1845	Inmate/Parolee Disability Verification Establishes whether an inmate/parolee has a physical disability. It is limited to mobility, vision, hearing and speech disabilities, and medical conditions so severe as to impact a major life activity.
Other	Any other documentation in the C-File that verifies a learning disability.

1 The CDC is in the process of developing a form to record the TABE score results and/or identify possible learning disabilities. The TABE reading score of four or less means the Complete Battery as a specific type of test being used as described in the TABE Examiner’s Manual. The 4.0 grade-range equivalent, as described in the manual, leaves less room for interpretation as to what “four” means. When “TABE reading score of four or less” is used, the meaning therefore is: the TABE Complete Battery reading score of four (4.0) grade-range equivalent or less.
