Consultation and Technical Assistance. IVRS staff will provide consultation and technical assistance to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and Area Education Agencies (AEAs). These services are intended to benefit students or youth with disabilities as they transition from school to postsecondary life related to an employment outcome. These services are to assist school personnel in developing a seamless system of transition for all students. A vocational rehabilitation counselor or other staff member will work in concert with educational agencies designated by the DE to provide services for individuals who are receiving special education services under an Individualized Education Program (IEP), or services provided according to Section 504, to provide Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) to individuals who are Potentially Eligible (PE) for IVRS. Services may include, but are not limited to, job exploration counseling, workplace readiness training, work-based learning experiences, counseling on opportunities, self-advocacy instruction and other general services applicable to groups of students with disabilities and youth with disabilities. All of the above described services are outlined in a Local School Plan with each LEA annually. The Local School Plan will be individualized to meet the needs of each LEA. LEA staff, IVRS staff and other community partners shall be included in the development of each Local School Plan. Due to staff capacity issues, these services are generally provided with groups of students and youth who are under an IEP or Section 504, but may be delivered individually. Additionally, alternative means for meeting participation (e.g., video conferences and conference calls) may be used for IEP team participation and to assist LEAs in planning for the transition of students with disabilities. Educators will request consultation and technical assistance services from IVRS when needed to plan for individual transition needs, including development of the individual’s course of study. Educators will consult with IVRS regarding the individual’s impediments to employment and provide all information available. In a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS), IVRS involvement is directly related to the level of support needed by the student and the point at which IVRS involvement is required.
