d. 2. F. Arrangements and Cooperative Agreements for the Provision of Supported Employment Services
Current Narrative:
As indicated in section (e), MVR enters into cooperative written agreements with CRPs to provide services on a fee-for-service basis to individuals with disabilities, which includes youth with the most significant disabilities. Ad hoc teams composed of MVR and CRP staff worked together developing new ideas and designing processes to successfully support and implement those new ideas. The CRP-MVR steering committee meets regularly to improve services and outcomes for individuals with disabilities who are receiving supported employment services.
The CRPs provide SE services, which may include:
• discovery and exploration;
• job supports;
• survey of businesses and assurance of potential community-based exploration, assessment and work sites suited to the needs of the clients;
• analysis of all relevant job-related variables (e.g., transportation, job restructuring, tax credit for employers, etc.);
• development of an internal advocacy system;
• provision of long-term, extended services support with the individual or employer a minimum of twice per month; and
• customized employment for individuals and employers.
