Current Narrative:
As the agency continues on the path of serving the more significantly disabled, there may be the need to enhance the assessment and evaluation capability of CRPs. Three potential areas of Community Rehabilitation Program improvement were noted: (1) increased availability of comprehensive learning disability evaluations, (2) services to individuals with autism, and (3) increased emphasis on social skills training, (4) working with community rehab programs to build capacity for the delivery of Pre-ETS to students with disabilities while still providing quality employment services to individuals with disabilities The agency will invite CRP staff to specific trainings in order to improve and elevate skills of CRP employees in areas such as Pre-ETS, autism and social skills training.
