p. 1. B. Describe the factors that impeded the achievement of the goals and priorities
Current Narrative:
IPEs were not always developed within the 90 calendar day time frame. Possible factors that impeded success include staff challenges obtaining client signature on extension form and staff challenges with tracking time frames and sending extension forms or closure letters prior to the 90th day.
The number of Supported Employment IPEs did not increase as expected. Possible factors that impeded success include lack of staff understanding on when to use a Supported Employment plan type, partner agency staff (such as DDD) may not understand when/how to refer an individual with the most significant disability to VR.
