The SRC and CDOR jointly developed and agreed to the 2020 – 2024 State Plan priorities and goals. The SRC supports the two priorities and five goals within the 2020 – 2024 State Plan.
The SRC encourages the CDOR to consider the significance of and need for cultural competency in the provision of VR services to youth, students and adults with disabilities. The CDOR acknowledges this consideration and used it to inform the objectives and strategies for priority one, goal three pertaining to improving systems alignment, coordination, and integration. Furthermore, the SRC suggests CDOR explore the benefits of increasing the variety and supply of potential employers, including small businesses. This suggestion is captured in goals one and two in priority two “Services to Businesses”.
