DVR conducted a CSNA in 2016. The Strategic Goals for FFY2016—2019 were developed based on the findings of the CSNA. In order to determine the needs of Alaskans with disabilities, the CSNA looked at:
• What are the rehabilitation needs of individuals with disabilities, particularly the vocational rehabilitation services needs of individuals with most significant disabilities, including their need for SE services?
• What are the vocational rehabilitation services needs of individuals with disabilities who are minorities or who are in unserved or underserved populations?
• What are the vocational rehabilitation services needs of individuals with disabilities who are served through other components of the statewide workforce investment system?
• What is the need to establish, develop, or improve community rehabilitation programs (CRPs) within the state?
