The youth must meet criteria for functional impairment in TWO of the following areas:

2) Functioning in community - Impairment in community functioning is manifested by a consistent lack of age-appropriate behavioral controls, decision-making, judgment and value systems that results in potential involvement in the juvenile justice system.
3) Functioning in social relationships - Impairment of social relationships is manifested by the consistent inability to develop and maintain satisfactory relationships with peers and adults.
4) Functioning in the family -
A) Impairment in family functioning is manifested by a pattern of:

ii) significantly disruptive behavior exemplified by repeated and/or unprovoked violence to siblings and/or parents; or
iii) inability to conform to reasonable limitations and expectations.
B) The degree of impairment requires intensive (i.e., beyond age-appropriate) supervision by parent/caregiver and may result in removal from the family or its equivalent.
5) Functioning at school - Impairment in functioning at school is manifested by the inability to pursue educational goals in a normal time frame, e.g., consistently failing grades, repeated truancy, expulsion, property damage, or violence toward others that cannot be remediated in a classroom setting (whether traditional or specialized).
