SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:

Lakemary Center provides tailored services for children with deficits in a variety of adaptive functioning areas, including communication, self-care, functional academics, social skills, leisure skills, and community use skills. Behavioral presentations addressed include high levels of aggression, self-injury, elopement, property destruction, and other high-risk behaviors. This Amendment No. 2 extends the Agreement for one additional fiscal year to provide extensive psychiatric and residential service treatment service that aligns with the anticipated service need of the client placed at this facility.
This Agreement contains the County’s standard 30-day “no cause” provision (Section IV, B) and an additional defunding provision (Section IV, D), which provides the County the ability to amend or terminate the Agreement in the event of a reduction and/or termination of funding.
