child with developmental disability - Appeal. 1. In any proceeding instituted in juvenile court, the court may make an order for assessment of the child by the life skills and transition center for developmental disability determination whenever it appears to the satisfaction of the court that the child involved in the proceeding is: a. Dependent and eligible for services at the life skills and transition center; b. Neglected and eligible for services at the life skills and transition center; or c. Delinquent and eligible for services at the life skills and transition center. 2. If it is ascertained as a result of such assessment that the child is eligible for residential services offered at the life skills and transition center and the child qualifies for accessing services from the life skills and transition center in accordance with section 25-04-04 and subsection 1 of section 25-04-05, a report to such effect must be made by the authorities of the life skills and transition center to the court. The court thereupon shall make an order fixing a time for a hearing upon the report showing the child to be eligible and qualifying for accessing services offered at the life skills and transition center. Notice of the hearing must be given to the parents, custodian, or guardian of such child in the manner prescribed by law for the giving of notice in other proceedings in juvenile court. Upon such hearing, the court shall make such order as it may deem proper. Any parent, custodian, guardian, or other person charged with the control of such child may take an appeal from the order made by the court in the manner now prescribed by law for the taking of appeals from decisions of the juvenile court.
