Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

Changes have been made to the DARS’ Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) Manual to better explain how DARS staff determines Pre-ETS needs for students with disabilities and to clarify when students 22 years of age can receive Pre-ETS. Minor revisions to citations and formatting were also made. In determining how DARS’ staff determines Pre-ETS needs, the Pre-ETS Manual contains information about two tools that are available with identifying students’ Pre-ETS needs. The first is the Pre-Employment Transition Services Needs Survey (Form PreETS-5). This is not a required form, but it is encouraged to be completed. The second tool is the Pre-Employment Transition Services Guide (Form PreETS 8). This tool is required to be completed annually for all students with disabilities who are being served by the agency. This tool helps guide conversations to identify students’ needs related to core Pre-ETS topics. Counselors check off when a topic is covered and includes information about the entity that addressed the identified topic area with the student.
