What are some examples of the impact of WSRC’s policy partnership with DVR?
• The Council has a federally mandated policy partnership with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation; • The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation is required to submit a document called the State Plan to the Rehabilitation Services Administration. The Rehabilitation Services Administration allocates the majority of DVR’s funding and monitors its performance. The Council contributes a section of this plan that specifies the recommendations and input we have given to DVR. DVR is required to explain what they did as a consequence of those recommendations; • DVR field staff and senior leadership are represented on our Council. We have an ongoing dialogue with the division about policy issues and systemic trends.
