Subject: Speak to DOR: INDEPENDENT LIVING SERVICES under WIOA

 

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) brings significant
opportunity to improve services for individuals with disabilities,
especially youth with disabilities. There have been no greater changes to
law affecting our programs since the 1992 Rehabilitation Act amendments. 

If you work in partnership with the California Department of Rehabilitation
(DOR) and Independent Living Centers (ILCs), please join the DOR and the
State Independent Living Council (SILC) in a public forum to share
information and collect stakeholder feedback on changes under WIOA.

We look forward to discussing topics such as:

*       What are some new approaches that the DOR, SILC, and the 28 ILCs
could try in order to strengthen our critical partnership?

*       What successful strategies have you developed for offering
"Transition" services? 

*       Given there are no new funds associated with WIOA, how can DOR
support the 28 ILCs in implementation of transition strategies?
