How to use the MnCHOICES Support Plan user manual
The user manual is organized by the screens in the MnCHOICES Support Plan. In general, each page of the user manual corresponds to one screen in the Support Plan. Use the menu at the top left of the screen to navigate to the help page for the Support Plan topic that you are interested in.
Which parts of a plan do you need to complete?
Which tabs you work in and which parts of a CSP, CSSP or Rate Plan you complete will depend on your role. Assessors complete both the MnCHOICES Assessment and the CSP. Planners complete the CSSP. A Planner is anyone who will be doing support planning with the person. The user manual uses the following icons to show when a part of the user manual is relevant to Assessors, Planners, or both:
Assessor
Planner
