Description
The APS specialist works with the client to develop a service plan to address identified problems. Safely maintaining clients in the least restrictive environment is a primary goal of APS intervention.
Protective services may be necessary to alleviate or prevent the client from returning to a state of abuse, neglect or financial exploitation. In this case, DFPS may also provide services to a family member or caretaker. (Texas Human Resources Code §48.002(a)(5) and §48.204) Protective services may be delivered in every stage of an investigation The APS specialist makes all reasonable efforts to resolve problems, including root causes, and stabilizes the client’s condition.

Full resolution of a client’s problems is always the goal of APS casework, but it is not always achievable. When full resolution is not a practical goal because of inadequate resources, client resistance, or some other impediment, the APS specialist closes the case when a client’s situation is as close to stable as possible. The phrase "reasonable effort" implicitly recognizes that: • personal choice on the part of the client may limit the effectiveness of APS intervention; • resources available to APS for helping clients are limited; and • APS cannot remedy all situations. 1.
Clients in validated cases may receive more than one service. 2. Number of Clients served is the distinct number of clients served on the Total Service Stages closed in the Fiscal Year. 3. Total Service Stages are investigation stages closed in the Fiscal Year with one of the following Closure Reasons :- 'Resolved During Investigation with Services', 'Efforts Exhausted' or 'Resolved with Services/Condition Stabilized'.
