p. 2. B. Describe the factors that impeded the achievement of the goals and priorities
Current Narrative:
The largest factor that impedes the achievement of the supported employment goal is the lack of statewide community rehabilitation programs offering supported employment to the blind and visually impaired. DSB has enlisted some new providers, including TEEM and Building Bridges to serve the Delta (under served) rural area. DSB has a low number of consumers with most significant disabilities that need supported employment services in order to obtain and retain employment.
Update PY2022-2023 DSB continues to work to grow providers. DSB is now working with the VRTAC-QE to improve Supported Employment Outcomes.
