That sentence, in plain words

The advice given to States must be brought up to date. That is due one year after the report. It must follow what the report found.

What this is about

Coordinated specialty care is a team approach. A doctor, a counselor and a job coach work together. It is used after a first break with reality.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
