Current Narrative:
RSB considers the current programs for community rehabilitation within the state as being sufficient to meet the current need. This sufficiency is supported by the fact that RSB contracts for employment services, including supported employment, with 11 contract providers, many of whom have multiple offices covering multiple districts. RSB also contracts with five contracted Community Rehabilitations Programs offering comprehensive personal and vocational adjustment to blindness training. There have been no waiting lists for either employment services or comprehensive personal and vocational adjustment training during the past year, nor is a waiting list projected.
