<p>IDVR provides funding for job development services and initial job coaching through a Community Rehabilitation Provider (CRP) agency. The length of time needed for job development varies depending on the individual. As soon as the person has become employed, it is critical to work quickly to ensure there is no gap in the individual’s job coaching support in the workplace. The CRP will communicate to the Service Coordinator/plan developer that the participant has been hired so planning for transition to Medicaid-funded Supported Employment services [extended services] can begin. An Employment Agency Recommendation form has been developed to help with the transition process. It includes information from the CRP agency about the participant, their job tasks in the workplace, and a recommended level of service needed by the participant. This information will be used by the plan developer to complete an addendum to the ISP. A transition meeting will be called and facilitated by the Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. This meeting should include the Service Coordinator/Plan Developer, guardian and any other identified members of the Person-Centered Planning team to ensure all parties understand the shift to Medicaid Waiver Supported Employment and any signatures can be gathered as needed for addendum or plan development. IDH&W refers to CARF and RSAS (or equivalent) accreditation requirements in order to receive waiver funding.</p>
