their religious or spiritual beliefs, the service providers will discuss the
opportunities for this practice to occur. The client's team will discuss and
make reasonable accommodations to provide supports including transportation and
schedule adjustments, if necessary.

client to practice his/her religious or spiritual beliefs, every attempt will
be made by Community Care to resolve this to the client's and/or the guardian's
satisfaction.

right to not be coerced to participate in religious activities.

in the client's case record.

providers, and/or their parent/legal guardian regarding the practicing of
