In responding to the vocational needs of eligible individuals with disabilities, DORS will provide and/or coordinate services including but not limited to: • Pre-Employment Transition Services • Assessment for determining eligibility and priority for services for vocational rehabilitation based on the following federal criteria: The individual (1) has a physical or mental impairment which for the individual constitutes or results in a substantial impediment to employment; and (2) requires vocational rehabilitation services to prepare for, enter, engage in, or retain gainful employment. Individuals eligible for Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability Insurance and those eligible for supported employment through of the Developmental Disabilities Administration and the Mental Hygiene Administration are presumed eligible for DORS services. • Career assessment services • Information and referral services • Assistive technology services • Vocational counseling and guidance • Diagnosis and treatment of physical and mental impairments • Vocational and other training services • Supported employment services • Self-employment services • Placement and follow-up DORS is required by federal law to establish an “order of selection” for services when the agency has insufficient funding to serve all eligible individuals. The order of selection stipulates that individuals with the most significant disabilities shall be served on a priority basis. Individuals may be placed on a waiting list for services.

ADULT PSYCHIATRIC REHABILITATION PROGRAM of the status of the order of selection periodically, including anticipated impact on referral of DORS consumers to XXXXX XXXXXXX BAYVIEW MEDICAL CENTER, INC.

In such instances, the income of the individual/family and size of the family are taken into account. DORS supports only competitive integrated employment. To satisfy the definition of “competitive integrated employment” in section 7(5) of the Rehabilitation Act and 34CFR §361.5(c)(9) of the implementing regulations, the employment outcome must satisfy the criteria of three major components of the definition, including competitive earnings, integrated location, and opportunities for advancement. • Competitive Earnings

The Division is responsible for assessing the vocational potential of Maryland citizens with disabilities and providing services to assist eligible individuals in entering or re-entering employment thereby improving their ability to function independently in the community. In responding to the vocational needs of eligible individuals with disabilities, DORS will provide and/or coordinate services including but not limited to: • Pre-Employment Transition Services • Assessment for determining eligibility and priority for services for vocational rehabilitation based on the following federal criteria: The individual (1) has a physical or mental impairment which for the individual constitutes or results in a substantial impediment to employment; and (2) requires vocational rehabilitation services to prepare for, enter, engage in, or retain gainful employment. Individuals eligible for Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability Insurance and those eligible for supported employment through of the Developmental Disabilities Administration and the Mental Hygiene Administration are presumed eligible for DORS services. • Career assessment services • Information and referral services • Assistive technology services • Vocational counseling and guidance • Diagnosis and treatment of physical and mental impairments • Vocational and other training services • Supported employment services • Self-employment services • Placement and follow-up DORS is required by federal law to establish an “order of selection” for services when the agency has insufficient funding to serve all eligible individuals. The order of selection stipulates that individuals with the most significant disabilities shall be served on a priority basis. Individuals may be placed on a waiting list for services. DORS will advise XXXXX XXXXXXX BAYVIEW MEDICAL CENTERFAMILY SERVICES, INC. ADULT PSYCHIATRIC REHABILITATION PROGRAM of the status of the order of selection periodically, including anticipated impact on referral of DORS consumers to XXXXX XXXXXXX BAYVIEW MEDICAL CENTERFAMILY SERVICES, INC.

To satisfy the definition of “competitive integrated employment” in section 7(5) of the Rehabilitation Act and 34CFR §361.5(c)(9) of the implementing regulations, the employment outcome must satisfy the criteria of three major components of the definition, including competitive earnings, integrated location, and opportunities for advancement.
