d. 2. P. iv. How the Funds Reserved for Innovation and Expansion (i&e) Activities Were Utilized.
Current Narrative:
During FFY 2016 and 2017, innovation and expansion funds were used to support the development and implementation of the Accessible Web—based Activity Reporting Environment releases which expanded and improved the provision of VR services to individuals with disabilities, particularly individuals with the most significant disabilities, consistent with the findings of the Comprehensive Statewide Assessment and the state’s program priorities and goals. In 2016 and 2017, CDOR released Accessible Web—based Activity Reporting Environment version updates.
Innovation and expansion funds were also used to support the activities of the SRC including their travel costs. The SRC meets at least quarterly in person and teleconferences between full council meetings. In addition to direct participation in the development of the State Plan, the SRC partners with CDOR in major programs, policies, and projects including the Comprehensive Statewide Assessment and the Consumer Satisfaction Survey.
