				  equipment.
"Case Management" means a mechanism to coordinate and assure

				  Case management involves individualized assessment of needs, planning of
				  services, referral, monitoring and advocacy to assist a client in gaining
				  access to appropriate services and closure when services are no longer
				  required. Case management is an active and collaborative process involving a
				  single qualified case manager, the client, the client's family, the providers
				  and the community. This includes close coordination and involvement with all
				  service providers in the management plan for that client and/or family
				  including assuring that the client receives the services.
"Counseling" means the provision of advice, guidance or
				  instruction on the part of a knowledgeable person with the goal of meeting
				  specific needs of individuals or groups.
"Equipment" means any nonexpendable item with a unit cost
				  equivalent to or greater than the State of Illinois' definition for equipment,
				  AN ACT in relation to State finance (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 127, par.
				  156).
"Follow-up" means the process by which further services are
				  rendered and/or the process by which an assessment is made concerning the

				  community campaigns as diverse as door-to-door canvassing, production and
				  distribution of handbills, design and publication of newspaper announcements,

				  advertising on radio or television. The primary objective of outreach
				  activities is to inform potential program participants of available services,
				  eligibility criteria and method of accessing services (for example, the name,
