9.4 Identification of Nature and Scope of Services

The comprehensive assessment shall be used to identify the nature and scope of services that will address the individual’s barriers and allow the individual to successfully achieve their chosen employment outcome. The DVR Counselor and individual shall work collaboratively to identify a comprehensive set of necessary services that will be included in the individual’s IPE. All necessary services shall be identified in the IPE regardless of provider or funding sources.

When an individual’s planned employment outcome is anticipated to require formal training, the DVR Counselor and the individual shall conduct an analysis to determine and document specific training needs, to include: type of training relative to employment outcome, duration of training, and comparisons of cost of training. Agency tools have been developed and may be used to document this analysis.
