The data is representative of reports and allegations of incidents - not substantiated incidents.
The agency can receive several reports about a single incident from different sources (e.g. Provider and family member) this means the total number of reports submitted is not a direct correlation to the number of incidents that occurred.
The use of < within the table is to maintain and protect confidentiality and prevent the potential identification of individuals which can occur if the data were combined with other available information.
Total number of new first plans approved in each month with funding in the Assistive Technology support category, from July 2022 to September 2024.
