The DES/VR program has expanded its reach by utilizing outreach opportunities such as consistent coordination with Councils and stakeholder groups, development of online tools to promote employment for individuals with disabilities, involvement with ARIZONA@WORK and other core partners, and use of social media sites helps to spread information about the DES/VR program.
Continued deployment of the Arizona Management System principles and tools, such as standard work, tiered accountability, continuous improvement and visual management techniques will help to streamline processes, gain efficiencies and improve program performance and service delivery.
