- Program-Specific Requirements for Vocational Rehabilitation
The Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services Portion of the Unified or Combined State Plan* must include the following descriptions and estimates, as required by section 101(a) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by WIOA:
__________
* Sec. 102(b)(D)(iii) of WIOA
d. 2. L. iii. I. The Most Recent Comprehensive Statewide Assessment, Including Any Updates;
Current Narrative:
IDVR’s current CSNA was not informed by WIOA modifications and is subsequently somewhat anachronistic. Regardless, an analysis of the CSNA turned up no direct conflicts with the goals and priorities of the combined state plan, and alignment is retained with the already established goals and priorities shared by the Division and the SRC. The spirit of the CSNA is in alignment with these newly established goals and priorities.
IDVR will conduct a coordinated pre–employment transition services (PETS) needs assessment as soon as it is feasible. This will be an essential step in bringing goals and priorities into alignment with new WIOA mandates. Additionally, IDVR is due to conduct a general CSNA in FFY 2017.
