The New York Therapy Service Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering rehabilitative and therapeutic services—including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and behavioral therapy—to individuals with developmental disabilities, chronic conditions, injuries, and age-related limitations across the State of New York. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), the State Education Department (NYSED), and complies with Medicaid State Plan and Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver programs. The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency licensure and enrollment, participant eligibility and referral, comprehensive evaluations and treatment planning, delivery of person-centered therapeutic interventions, interdisciplinary collaboration, caregiver and family education, integration with service coordination and school-based supports, staff licensure and continuing education, participant rights and protections, documentation and billing practices, incident reporting, and quality assurance. It emphasizes evidence-based, functional therapy approaches that support independence, communication, mobility, and daily living across home, school, work, and community environments. This manual serves as a foundational resource for therapy service providers in New York, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant, and individualized services that promote skill development, recovery, and lifelong well-being.
