The Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) is inviting the public,

impact or are impacted by the Department of Rehabilitation Vocational
Rehabilitation Services, including Supported Employment Services, to
provide public comment on the Proposed 2011State Plan.

To facilitate comment, the DOR has scheduled three (3) public meetings
throughout the State for interested parties to present comments to the
DOR Directorate, DOR Deputy Directors, DOR District Administrators,
and members of the State Rehabilitation Council.  Director Anthony
Sauer and/or Chief Deputy Director Luciana Profaca will preside at
each of the public meetings.

The theme of the public meetings is “EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES.”  To guide
your comments, consider the specific questions identified below:

a.      What are the primary barriers that the DOR should be
addressing for individuals with disabilities to become successfully
employed?

b.  What strategies do you suggest that would best support efficient
and effective partnerships to serve individuals with disabilities?

c.  What systems/infrastructure do you recommend enhancing or changing
to increase accessibility and improve services for individuals with
disabilities for them to achieve employment, independence, and
equality? And, how would you suggest that these adjustments be
accomplished?

d.  Given the current economic climate, what innovative, non-financial
practices would you suggest to DOR to maximize quality employment,
independence, and equality for individuals with disabilities?

e.  How should the DOR plan to efficiently prepare for:

i.       The changing job market
ii. The changing demographics of the consumer population, including
the unserved and unserved
