Object to proposed waiver services section 12 VAC 30-120
 

Providing Employment Services to individuals with disabilities requires extensive and specific training, knowledge, skills and abilities. There is a whole range of skills, such as; assessment, job development, knowledge of accommadations, job-site training (step-by-step training) and specific knowledge of the employers requirements for the job. Knowledge of the individual, the attributes of the specific disability and experience in the job market.  The skills required  to place individuals into jobs can only be gained through on-going training and experience.  Because individuals with disabilites are historically, under employed, staff using best practices and methods should provide services.

Respectfully,

Linda St.Clair
