Current Narrative:
The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) continues to regularly seek the advice of the State Rehabilitation Council (SRC) on a number of issues including the state plan contents, consumer satisfaction, program goals and evaluation, policies, order of selection, public education and building relationships with the business community.
The results of the client satisfaction survey for FFY 2019 showed 87% overall satisfaction with vocational rehabilitation services. The SRC’s Planning and Evaluation Committee receives quarterly reports on the client satisfaction rates. They review the information, which is then discussed at the quarterly SRC meetings. They have not identified any trends or anomalies. The SRC made no policy recommendations during this fiscal year, nor did their annual report include any specific recommendations based on the survey results.
As had been identified in the Strategic Plan, VR has been reviewing and making changes to agency policies. All revisions have been reviewed with and approved by the SRC.
