			 requirements and which is a tool to assist staff in managing cases, setting
			 goals and reviewing adjudicated youth interventions and progress. A case plan

			 supervision and consultation to the Treatment Specialist and/or the treatment
			 foster parent.

			 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week availability, either by phone or in person, for
			 the provision of emergency and/or back-up services.
(8) Matching: The process of placing an
			 adjudicated youth in a home that can specifically meet the individual
			 reformation needs of that particular adjudicated youth. These needs include,
			 but are not limited to, a treatment foster parent's ability to speak the
			 language of the adjudicated youth, the home's proximity to the adjudicated
			 youth's family, and same race, ethnicity and culture.

			 12 hours or more, to allow the treatment foster parent(s) time away from the

			 support of a professional therapist of an identified program. A distinct,
			 powerful, and unique model of care that provides adjudicated youth with a
			 combination of the best elements of traditional foster care and residential
			 treatment. In treatment foster care, the positive aspects of the nurturing and

			 plan.
