<div><b>I am writing to let you know that there have been several updates to the Employment and Vocational Rehabilitation section on the BESB portion of the DORS website. The link further below will bring you to that section of the website. The Vocational Rehabilitation
Policy Manual has been updated to reflect the changes to the policy governing Order of Selection, subsequent to a public comment period and affirming votes by the Advisory Board and State Rehabilitation Council. These updates bring policy language into alignment
with the federal vocational rehabilitation regulations as well as aligning the definition of an individual with a most significant disability with the definition utilized by the CT Bureau of Rehabilitation Services.</b></div>
<div> </div>
<div><b>The State Rehabilitation Council Annual Report for 2018, as submitted by SRC Chair Alan Gunzburg to the Governor and Acting Commissioner of RSA has also been posted in this section. The 2018 Consumer Satisfaction Survey report has also been posted in
this section.</b></div>

<div><b>Sincerely,</b></div>
