Current Narrative:
MVR obtains input on goals and priorities from the comprehensive statewide assessment of need, which includes the SRC, public hearings and consumer satisfaction surveys. This information is given to the administrative and strategic teams to develop strategies. MVR utilizes a variety of teams to assist with the development and implementation of many of the strategies identified in this section. Team members include MVR staff, management, providers, former consumers and school personnel. Quality assurance reviews are also used to assess the progress of the strategies toward the targets. MVR’s Management Team monitors outcomes and progress toward goals on a regular basis.
Goals, priorities and strategies were developed from the statewide assessment of need. Strategies to assist with improving services to clients and families with ASD were established. In addition, MVR will use Strategy 2 from Goal 2 as mentioned above in section (o).
