Current Narrative:
(E) How individuals with the most significant disabilities are selected for services before all other individuals with disabilities.
Under an order of selection, DORS selects individuals with the most significant disabilities first for the provision of VR services. (Section 101(a)(5)(C) of the Act and 34 CFR 361.36(a)(3)(iv)(A). Individuals who are eligible for VR services and who cannot presently be served under the order of selection are advised that their record will be placed on a waiting list. Eligible individuals are removed from the waitlist based on their application date, once resources are available to serve them.
