provide an array of services to eligible consumers. Through the intermediate
school districts (ISDs), the Commission for the Blind continues to work
collaboratively with the ISDs to develop prevocational programs that focus
on soft skills, preparation for employment and job shadowing, resume
writing and etc. The participants are expected to acquire skills that will
enable them to obtain employment during the summer months. A number of the
other agreements focus on vocational training, job placement and follow-up
services. Specifically, these agreements provide for specialized training
and adaptive equipment, computer technology and screen reader access that
allows blind and visually impaired individuals to compete competitively in
the job market. The agreements with Community Mental Health provide
supports for supported employment candidates in the form of vocational
training, job coaching and follow-along services to maintain employment
within the communities.<br>
<br>
Each of the agreements developed with these public entities are funds
provided in part to increase and enhance vocational opportunities in
conjunction with the state agency. MCB requires assurance that each
agreement signed must ensure that all services provided to the individuals
must meet the goals which outlines the objectives of increase vocational
opportunities and employment outcomes. These agreements assure that they
will make available to MCB the non-federal share of funds, contain written
assurance that agency approval will be obtained for each proposed service

through its collaborative agreements with a variety of state and local
agencies provides comprehensive rehabilitation services to individuals who
are blind and visually impaired. MCB has agreements with the Developmental
Disability Council and the Community Mental Health (CMH) agencies to
provide comprehensive services to persons with developmental disabilities
to assist in job placement services. The Community Mental Health agencies
and the Commission for the Blind works collaboratively through its
cooperative agreements to expand services to individuals that are eligible
for CMH services to obtain job placement and follow-along services. CMH
agencies also work with the Commission in providing auxiliary services to
many of MCBs supported employment consumers.<br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blind collaborative agreement with the
Department of Human Services (DHS) provides services to family members in
the area of child care, adult services and food assistance to MCB consumers
that assist individuals to participate in vocational training and job
placement. The agreement also provides for adults, when necessary, chore
services and transportation. MCB and DHS are collaborating to develop an
amendment to the agreement to provide services to individuals that are in
need of state disability services prior to becoming eligible for SSI or
SSDI. These individuals will work with MCB and DHS in the development of
plan for employment in order to be a recipient of State Disability
Assistance (SDA).<br>
<br>
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the Michigan
Commission for the Blind continues to work jointly to provide
transportation services throughout the state for MCB consumers. The
Michigan Commission for the Blind continues to participate on the statewide
coalition spearheaded by MDOT. The purpose is to identify and mitigate gaps
in transportation services. The Commission has continued to have a strong
commitment to working with the department to improve transportation in
rural areas. MCBs staff frequently participates on the local advisory
council for transportation improvements in the community. The overall goal
is to enhance transportation options, so that MCBs consumers can utilize
transportation for employment services, as well as leisure activities. <br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blind works as an Employment Network for
the Ticket to Work program. This is a program provided by the Social
Security Administration. The program allows MCB to work collaboratively
with the local social security offices to enhance work incentives for
individuals that are recipients for SSI and SSDI who have gained employable
skills to become employed and those who are returning to work. <br>
<br>
The Commission has worked with Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) to
develop cooperative agreements that outline the responsibility of MCB and
the IHE as it relates to the requirements found in Section 103 (a) of the
Rehabilitation Act as amended regarding dispute resolutions, financial
responsibility, accommodations, and service provisions. The agency supports
many of its consumers in their endeavors to obtain training in a variety of
occupational areas through institutions of higher education. MCB has
agreements with all public institutions of higher education.<br>
<br>
MCB has an agreement with Supplier Diversity to assist small business
owners with disabilities to obtain contracts with the State to provide a
variety of goods and services. Through the Supplier Diversity program,
entrepreneurs are trained on how to secure contracts with the State. The
program also assists MCB in conducting, analyzing, compiling satisfaction
surveys in all its programs that assist the agency in ways to improve
service delivery.<br>
<br>
MCB and the Michigan Rehabilitation Services has an agreement with the
Michigan Commission on Disability Concerns to educate the employer
community regarding the ADA and other disability laws on the benefit of
hiring individuals with visual impairment and blindness and other

MCB has an agreement with Michigan State University to provide a
comprehensive need assessment and a customer satisfaction survey for MCB
consumers. The assessment provides MCB with information regarding areas of
service improvement and customer input regarding services. MCB and MRS work
collaboratively with Michigan State University in developing the CSPD for
interns as well as counselors who were in need of specific courses to meet
the certified rehabilitation requirements. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Michigan Commission for the Blind continues to develop cooperative
agreements with intermediate school districts throughout the state for the
provision of transition services of blind and visually impaired students.
These agreements outline specific objectives to be included in transition
plans for all blind and visually impaired school age children. They provide
for development of individual skills for pre-employment, as well as
employment in higher education. MCB participates in the Individualized
Educational Planning conference (IEPC) of students that are fourteen years
and older to establish eligibility criteria for vocational services. At
these meetings, ground work is developed to initiate Individualized Plan
for Employment (IPE) for each individual before they graduate from high
school. The IEPC, along with the IPE, are instruments that identify
education, transition, and employment expectations. These activities are
cooperatively agreed upon by the schools or educational facilities,
parent/student, as well as the rehabilitation agency; thereby, establishing
the objectives of the transition plan leading to the transitioning of
individuals from high school to employment or higher education. <br>
<br>
The Commission continues to collaborate with education officials to carry
out transition activities for blind and visually impaired youths. The
Michigan Commission for the Blind has an agreement with the Michigan
Department of Education Low Incidence Outreach (MDE/LIO) that outlines the
responsibility of both agencies. The agreement is reviewed bi-annually to
assure that all responsibilities are carried out by the designated parties.
The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) will provide technical
assistance and training to appropriate staff at the state and local levels
to facilitate the coordination of academic, functional, vocational, and
community-based curricula and will provide technical assistance for the
establishment of local partnerships designed to aid and empower students
with visual impairments or who are blind and their families. MCB
collaborates with MDE to provide transition activities for blind and
visually impaired youth. MCB is mandated by the federal government to work
collaboratively with intermediate school districts and community partners
to provide transition services and activities for blind and visually
impaired youth. MDE has the fiscal responsibility to oversee trust funds
allocated for maintenance and operations of property used for blind and
visually impaired youth that result in the provision of direct transition
services and activities. The funds used from these trusts will be used for
allowable matching funds for MCBs Federal Title I Vocational Rehabilitation
Grant. Using these funds as match enables MCB and MDE to maximize services
for eligible individuals in need of transition services. <br>
<br>
MCB establishes agency priorities and goals, provides leadership and
consultation to district offices. MCB maintains a statewide client
information system that includes the collection of all activities,
agency-supported services and programs for students who are blind or have a
visual impairment. Also, MCB supports use of collected data from both
agencies for system improvements. <br>
<br>
MCB works jointly with MDE Special Education programs and the intermediate
school districts (ISD) to establish agreements to carry out transition
planning and activities. The agreements are specific and they account for
the individuals development and transition activities. Specifically, the
Michigan Commission for the Blind initiates programs with the ISD to
encourage academic involvement for all visually impaired and blind
students. MCB works with the ISD in developing programs that will enhance
the development of soft skills as well as work experiences for youths.
Through the Low Incident and Outreach program within the Michigan
Department of Education, the Commission works jointly with the agency to
identify eligible consumers for the Vocational Rehabilitation program. The
agency participates on an advisory board with the general education
department to identify areas of collaboration to enhance program
accessibility for mainstream youths who are blind and visually impaired.
The objective is to maximize resources and minimize barriers that may
impact on the educational progress of blind and visually impaired youths. <br>
<br>
The MDE Special Education Department is responsible for providing financial
support to all individuals as it relates to their academic achievements.
The Michigan Commission for the Blind provides financial support relating
to specialized vocational assessment training and other related services
leading to employment outcomes. These services are above and beyond what
the Department of Special Education provides. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Mental Health (CMH), provisions for additional services are discussed to

These provisions provide extended supports to assist supported employment

Michigan Commission for the Blind (MCB) is part of the Michigan
Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth and is dedicated to having
the most qualified staff possible providing services to blind consumers
throughout the State of Michigan. We continue to hire only qualified
individuals as rehabilitation counselors.<br>
<br>
During FY 08 we had 20 qualified rehabilitation counselors providing
direct services to blind consumers across the State of Michigan. At any
given point, approximately 3000 individuals were receiving services from
the Vocational Rehabilitation Program. Those persons receiving services
from the Youth Low Vision Program, the Older Blind Program, or the
Independent Living Program are not included in the figure above. There
are also 4 managers that are classified as qualified rehabilitation
counselors who do not provide direct services.<br>
<br>
We are always working with our department heads to try and increase the
number of FTEs in MCB. Due to budget concerns, we have not had an
increase in the number of employees for several years. About a decade ago
we had at least 10 more employees than we have now but due to early
retirements and regular retirements we lost several persons and have not
been given approval to fill the vacancies. So at the present time we have
99 FTEs and in order for us to maintain the level of services currently
being provided we would have to stay at 99. <br>
<br>
Based on the results of a recent study done for each bureau within the
department, 44% of MCB employees will be eligible to retire within the
next 5 years. If we look at where these individuals work we find that 41%
of the field staff, 59% of central office staff, and 39% of training
center staff will be eligible within 5 years. It is difficult to say just
how many will actually retire but these figures are a concern if we wish
to continue providing at least the current level of service to consumers
across the state. We currently have 5 rehabilitation managers, 15
rehabilitation counselors, 5 teacher/ counselors and 10 blind
rehabilitation instructors. In addition, we have 2 rehabilitation
managers, 2 rehabilitation counselors, and 11 blind rehabilitation
instructors at the Training Center. With these numbers we are able to
provide services to most consumers yet we are planning to create 2 new
field manager positions because the large geographical areas are very
difficult to manage with only 4 field managers. We would like to have at
least 2 more rehabilitation counselors in the field and 2 more
rehabilitation instructors. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the State of Michigan, there are three universities providing graduate
degrees in rehabilitation counseling Western Michigan University
(WMU), Michigan State University (MSU), and Wayne State University (WSU).
We continue to maintain relationships with these programs to make sure
that students receive a quality education and that they are aware of the
Michigan Commission for the Blind. As often as possible, we take on
interns and practicum students from these programs.<br>
<br>
WMU had 20 students enrolled and 3 graduates. Of those students, 7 were
persons with disabilities and 9 were classified as minority students. MSU
had 37 students enrolled including 9 students with disabilities and 4
minority students. MSU graduated 12 rehabilitation students which include
two students with disabilities and one student with a minority
background. WSU had 46 students enrolled which included 29 minority
students and 13 students with disabilities. WSU graduated 8 students from
the rehabilitation program.<br>
<br>
All of the graduates from these three programs are eligible to become
CRCs.<br>
<br>
We continue to be involved in a variety of ways with these graduate
programs. Staff from MCB have been on advisory boards, taught classes,
and presented as guest speakers for classes in these programs. While
doing so, we continue to encourage students to consider MCB as a place to
work after graduation. In addition, we notify both of the major blind
consumer organizations nationally and at the state level whenever
we have a vacancy in hopes of recruiting qualified blind persons. We also
notify professional organizations, the universities, and on occasion, the
Region V RCEP when we have a job vacancy posted. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

continues to emphasize the importance of recruitment and hiring of persons
with disabilities and individuals from a minority population. Information
about the number of employees who have a disability or belong to a
minority group, can be seen in the table above. Our current FTE count is
99, which does not include those working on a contract. Contracted
employees are not included in the table above. About 32% of our staff
work at the Training Center in Kalamazoo, approximately 15% work in the
Central Office or BEP, and the rest (53%) work in the Consumer Services
Division. It should be noted that Teacher-Counselors are not an
official Civil Service classification. These are individuals qualified to
work as a rehabilitation counselor and a rehabilitation teacher. It
should also be pointed out that some of the figures above represent
positions that had more than one person in it at some point during the
year due to turnover or other reasons.<br>
<br>
We are always working with our department heads to try and increase the
number of FTEs in MCB. Due to budget concerns, we have not had an
increase in the number of employees for several years. About a decade ago
we had at least 10 more employees than we have now but due to early
retirements and regular retirements we lost several persons and have not
been given approval to fill the vacancies. So at the present time we have
99 FTEs and in order for us to maintain the level of services currently
being provided we would have to stay at 99.<br>
<br>
Succession planning, as typically defined, is not possible under our
Civil Service system. We cannot identify or hire individuals ahead of
time to replace those leaving state employment, but we continue to meet
with representatives from Civil Service to gain their support for reforms
that would permit more effective planning and to make the hiring process
more flexible for when we do need to fill vacancies. We have also been
working vigorously to prepare MCB staff who have expressed an interest in
becoming managers and strive to nurture and support their professional
growth and development. As part of MCBs Vision 2020 Initiative we have
pledged to create a leaderful organization, recognizing that one
need not be in a position of supervision to demonstrate their leadership
potential. Many training opportunities are available for counselors,
teachers, managers and other leaders. Most activities are aimed towards
maintaining capacity instead of adding capacity pursuant to 34 CFR
361.18(d)(2)(iii)(A)-(C). <br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blind continues to recruit minorities,
especially those with disabilities. We continue to prepare and retain
qualified staff by offering very good working conditions and numerous
opportunities for professional development pursuant to Section
101(a)(7)(A)(iv)(II) of the Act and 34 CFR 361.18(b). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>MCB
strives to hire the most qualified staff possible providing services to
blind consumers throughout the State of Michigan. We continue to hire
only qualified individuals as rehabilitation counselors.<br>
<br>
During FY 08, we hired 2 rehabilitation counselors to fill vacancies
created when the previous counselors separated from the agency. MCB has
established a minimum standard for all persons performing the core duties
of a rehabilitation counselor (a) determination of eligibility, (b)
development of the rehabilitation plan, and (c) closing a case following
a successful employment outcome. We do not require that counselors be a
Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) but they must be CRC-eligible
and each of the newly-hired individuals were CRC-eligible. This standard
requires the proper degree or completion of graduate coursework to meet
the eligibility criteria as determined by the Commission on
Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) to meet the needs of Section
101(a)(7)(v)(II)(B) of the Act and 34 CFR 361.18(c). If we are unable to
hire someone with these qualifications, we will hire persons with
graduate degrees in some other area of counseling. Several graduate
programs in Michigan offer counseling degrees but its not always
classified as rehabilitation counseling or counseling and guidance.<br>
<br>
The training of new staff whether they meet the standard or not
will be done by the local manager and a designated senior counselor
who will be assigned as the mentor for that new hire. The mentor is
a CRC that will monitor the new counselor progress in order that he/she
meet the CRC standards.<br>
<br>
Back in about 1999 when we first focused on the qualifications of
counselors in regards to the Rehab Act, we had eight staff who did not
meet the criteria of being a qualified rehabilitation counselor. Since
that time we have only hired individuals who meet our state standard. Due
to a lack of qualified candidates we currently have two counselors who
will become CRC-eligible after gaining more work experience and
completing a few graduate courses. We anticipate them being eligible in
about two years.<br>
<br>
Of the 20 counselors in MCB that provides rehabilitation counseling
services to consumers, 10 of them have current CRC certification. In
addition, three managers at MCB are also CRCs. <br>
<br>
For the first five years of the CSPD process, MCB was part of a grant
that covered costs of tuition, books, and other related expenses in order
for staff to reach the CRC-eligible level. Once that grant expired it
became the agencys responsibility to cover these costs. However, our
department, the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic
Growth (DELEG), did not allow for bureaus to pay for college courses.
After working with our Office of Human Resources we were able to get an
exception to the policy in order for our staff to get reimbursed for
expenses related to CSPD coursework. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>One
of the resources used to fund training is the In-Service Training Grant
from the Rehabilitation Services Administration. The funds received from this
grant supplement our annual training budget in order to assist staff in
learning about new technologies, develop new skills, and to address other
needs to improve overall services to our consumers. By doing this we hope
to increase the number and quality of successful employment outcomes.<br>
<br>
We have typically provided more training than what could possibly be
funded by the Training Grant alone. We feel it is of utmost importance to
provide training opportunities for staff so they may become more proficient
in their job duties. As we hire new staff to replace more experienced
staff, we can expect the need and related costs for training to increase
significantly.<br>
<br>
By using training needs surveys, input from managers, and special
requests from staff we are able to provide a wide variety of training
covering a large number of topics. Two of the major training programs
each year are the Michigan Rehabilitation Conference (MRC) and the
Michigan Association of Educators and Rehabilitation (MAER) Annual
Conference. The MRC is the largest conference in the state for
rehabilitation providers, educators, community partners, and consumers.
The MAER program is designed specifically for individuals who provide
instructions to blind and visually impaired individuals.<br>
<br>
We also support the annual conferences for the two major consumer
organizations the Michigan Council of the Blind and Visually
Impaired and the Michigan Chapter of the National Federation of the
Blind. Each group holds their conference in the fall and we send at least
10 people to each one. <br>
<br>
In addition to using our own funds and the In-Service Training Grant, we
utilize the services of the Region V RCEP at Southern Illinois University
whenever possible. Theyve been very supportive of MCB over the years and
we have an excellent working relationship with them. We have also used
the CRP-RCEP at the University of Illinois once in awhile even though
their focus is on community rehabilitation programs. <br>
<br>
Much of the training scheduled for staff or involvement in conferences
and workshops is geared towards job development, job placement, assistive
technology, specific disabilities, vocational assessment and counseling
services, and general vocational rehabilitation issues. All of these
topics are very important to our staff and the degree of skill and
professionalism that is promoted by MCB. <br>
<br>
We continue to maintain a close working relationship with the states
general rehabilitation agency, Michigan Rehabilitation Services. We had a
leadership meeting in FY 07 where all the managers for both agencies got
together to educate each other on the services provided and to identify
areas where we could share resources, i.e., job leads, training
resources, community partnerships, etc. We continue to meet with them in
various locations to further enhance the collaboration. <br>
<br>
MCB works with the three universities providing rehabilitation training
to learn of potential candidates for internships and/or hire. This is
consistent with Section 101(a)(7) of the Act and 34 CFR 361.18(a). MCB
has hired a number of new staff over the past several years and in most
instances, we posted these positions with the universities and received
some very good candidates to interview. This involvement with the schools
has improved our relationship which, in turn, has increased the number of
internship possibilities and the pool of potential hires. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Michigan Commission for the Blinds Comprehensive Needs Assessment was
conducted in FY 2008 by Michigan State University (MSU) Office of
Rehabilitation and Disability Studies. The Comprehensive Needs Assessment
was conducted jointly with the Michigan Commission for the Blind and the
Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS). The results were made available to
the agency in FY 2009; however, the agency is implementing the results of
the assessment. <br>
<br>
A mixed methods approach was utilized for this project. An archival review
of facts and findings provided by (1) Centers for Independent Living
(CILs), (2) Employment Supports Project funded by the Developmental
Disabilities Council, and (3) Disability Town Hall Meetings administrated
by the Michigan Rehabilitation Council was conducted. In addition, extant
data were analyzed using the 2007 RSA 911 data and the Michigan population
data from the 2006 American Community Survey (ACS). Finally, an electronic
Community Rehabilitation Organization (CROs) Survey was developed and
conducted throughout the State of Michigan. <br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blinds 2008 Comprehensive Needs Assessment
recommended MCB, in collaboration with other partners, on the Needs Assessment
to have plans to continue consumer focus groups, community rehabilitation
organization surveys, conducted by various agencies and entities, some who
are or are not affiliated with MCB. Additional recommendations included
monitoring the number of males that exited MCB with IPE and services
initiated, but not employed; the disproportionate numbers of African
American and Hispanic/Latinos, including males and females for employment
outcomes; and provide resources to coordinate services and resources to
better serve consumers. The assessment also noted that the three primary
impediments to successful employment are: transportation, poor economic
climate and employer attitudes. <br>
<br>
MCB is working with community partners to develop appropriate training programs
for youths and adults to expand employment outcomes to meet the needs of
the 21st century labor market, which is one of the Governors employment
objective No Worker Left Behind. The Commission is actively
encouraging consumers to register for this program. MCB is collaborating
with various community agencies to identify the needs of unserved and
underserved populations. MCB is initiating an increased effort to improve
comprehensive services to minorities, specifically to African American and
Hispanic/Latino to affect more positive employment outcomes. The agency is
working diligently with Native American health centers to provide
information regarding the agencys programs. The staff also is working
collegially with the Hispanic/Latino, African and Arab American communities
to increase opportunities for training and employment outcomes. The agency
has been effective in establishing transition programs in all of the large
intermediate school districts in the state. MCB continues to establish
transition opportunities for blind and visually impaired individuals in the
rural areas of the state.<br>
<br>
The Comprehensive Needs Assessment survey indicated that there is a need
for more collaboration with community rehabilitation agencies to provide
rehabilitation services to persons with severe disabilities which include
supported employment consumers. MCB was able to place more emphasis on
service provision for persons with multiple impairments. This enabled the
agency to focus on employment opportunities for supported employment
individuals. The agency will continue to work with its community partners
to increase opportunities for supported employment consumers. The Consumer
Needs Assessment identified the need to provide opportunities for
individuals to acquire technical skills, accommodations for employment,
daily living, transportation, and improved counselor practices. MCB has
continued to work with these community rehabilitation agencies to improve
processes that will lead to increased training opportunities for persons
with severe disability, specifically blind and visually impaired
individuals. <br>
<br>
The survey results indicates that no specific minority group was
underserved; although, it indicated some findings that are of concern
regarding African American employment outcomes. MCB continues to work with
its Cultural Diversity Committee to identify ways to improve service
delivery to minority populations (i.e., Native Americans and
Hispanic/Latino Americans) that may be unserved and underserved. MCBs
outreach activities include participating in community events, health fairs
and etc. to ensure that information is being disseminated to minorities and
underserved populations in order to increase referrals to the agency for
rehabilitation services.<br>
<br>
The survey instrument mentions the statewide Workforce Investment System as
it relates to WIA legislation and the Title IV Rehabilitation Act, as
amended in 1998. The Michigan Commission for the Blind continues to review
its Memorandums of Understanding with the workforce investment system

Michigan Commission for the Blinds Comprehensive Needs Assessment Study
indicates a need to monitor the number of males that exited MCB with IPE
and services initiated, but not employed; the disproportionate numbers of
African Americans and Hispanic/Latinos, including males and females for
employment outcomes; and provide resources to coordinate services and
resources to better serve consumers. MCB will continue to provide
professional development, partner with other agencies to increased
employment outcomes, expand transition activities, and increased effective
service delivery to minority populations. <br>
<br>
MCB has established a goal to monitor the number the males that exited the
vocational rehabilitation program with IPEs developed and services
initiated, but not employed for the purpose of reducing the number of
ineffective IPEs developed with males without an employment outcome.<br>
<br>
The agency will develop relationships with community rehabilitation
organizations, mental health agencies, housing authority, transportation
sources to assist in providing expanded services for consumers.<br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blind (MCB) continues to work with a
variety of vendors to meet the need of the agencys technology demands. MCBs
goal is to continue providing its staff with the latest training on all
emerging technology that impacts service delivery to its consumers. The
individuals that are eligible for MCB services will have an opportunity to
receive training with the latest technology and adaptive equipment that
will assist them with daily living skills and employment endeavors.<br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blind promotes professional development for
its rehabilitation staff. The twenty rehabilitation counselors and
teacher/counselors receive training that will assist them to develop their
professional counseling skills through various training programs in order
that they may be able to work effectively with consumers in an ever
changing society. <br>
<br>
Indicator 1.1 reference the number of individuals with employment outcomes.
The Michigan Commission for the Blind goal is to increase competitive
employment opportunities for individuals with visual impairment and
blindness by utilizing its business services staff to develop employer
relations to foster greater job opportunities through its work with the
Michigan Works!, employers and employment fairs to increase the percentage
of employment outcomes. The consumers will have more opportunities to
market their skills. MCBs priority is to seek out new opportunities within
the community each year and to establish meaningful partnerships with its
community partners in order to expand employment outcomes and service
opportunities for blind and visually impaired individuals. MCB, through its
collaboration with community partners and employers, has established a goal
to rehabilitate 176 consumers with competitive outcomes. One goal to
establish meaningful relationships with community rehabilitation agencies
is to develop and expand vocational training opportunities for individuals
with blindness and visual impairment for the purpose of increasing
employment outcomes. Another goal is to collaborate with the employment
community through the use of MCBs business services staff and brochures to
inform employers of services that the Commission can provide, as well as
how the commission can assist in providing qualified job ready candidates. <br>
<br>
MCB has one of its priority goals is transition initiatives with the
intermediate school districts within the state. The goal is to secure
agreements with three new districts each year until each school district
has established a transition program for individuals. MCB is expanding
transition opportunities for high school youths throughout the state. These
transition activities provide an opportunity for students to acquire
pre-employment skills as well as appropriate technology skills. <br>
<br>
MCB, as a result of the Comprehensive Needs Assessment has identified a
need to focus on the employment outcomes of African Americans,
Hispanic/Latinos males and females that have a disproportionate number of
individuals exiting the agency without successful employment outcomes. MCBs
outreach continues to focus on identifying unserved and underserved
populations. The objective is to increase the effectiveness of service
delivery through an assessment of intake activities in regards to Native
Americans, Latino/Hispanic Americans and African Americans, as well as the
number of IPEs developed and successful completion of the rehabilitation
process each year. In accordance with indicator 2.1, MCB continues to
utilize its Cultural Diversity team to assist the agency in improving
service delivery to minorities and emerging populations. MCB continues to
work with Wayne State University (WSU) Rehabilitation Counselor program to
improve outcomes for the African American population. WSU is an urban
university that affords an excellent opportunity for the agency to
collaborate with the rehabilitation counseling program to evaluate methods
and methodologies to improve service delivery to all minorities, especially
to African American males. As a result of this collaboration, the agency is
anticipating improved practices that will effectively help to deliver
services to an urban population resulting in increased employment outcomes.
<br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blinds goal for the Supported Employment
program is to develop and improve relationships with community
rehabilitation agencies to increase training opportunities within the
communities resulting in employment in an integrated setting. MCB has
developed an agreement with the Department of Community Mental Health (CMH)
which details specific guidelines principles and objectives to expand
opportunities for services and employment outcomes which include the
provisions for long term follow up for supported employment consumers, as
well as develop natural supports to assist in maintaining employment.
Through these efforts, the agency anticipates serving 30 individuals in the
Supported Employment program with an expected employment outcome of
one-third (10) of individuals being successfully employed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Michigan Commission for the Blind serves the more severely disabled
individuals who are blind and visually impaired, as well as some
individuals who are deaf/blind through the Supported Employment program.
MCB has an agreement with Community Mental Health to increase referrals by
5%. MCB will continue to collaborate with various community partners, and
intermediate school districts to obtain appropriate referrals for
vocational exploration and rehabilitation services.<br>
<br>
MCB received $103,206 to provide comprehensive rehabilitation services to
the most severe and/or multiple impaired individuals. The staff will
utilize supported employment funds to develop vocational opportunities for
the most severely disabled individuals to achieve employment outcomes. MCBs
goal is to work with the community rehabilitation organizations to establish
programs that will provide training that will enhance marketable skills
that will enable the recipients to obtain job placement within an
integrated setting in their communities. Each of the community
rehabilitation organizations emphasize specialize programs that are
supported by the labor market demands. These programs include, but are not
limited to, packaging and assembling, clerical activities, food services,
and janitorial training for consumers. As the agency continues to
collaborate with its community partners to increase vocational choices, it
is anticipated that MCB will provide services to 30 individuals as a result
of the supported employment funds. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>Indicator
1.1: Number of Individuals with Employment Outcomes. The Michigan
Commission for the Blind projection for the number of individuals with
employment outcomes that was set by the agency was not achieved, as well as
compared with the national average. Therefore, MCB reviewed its training
objectives and have focused its attention on specific areas of training
that will equip the staff with additional techniques and resources to help
meet its goals of employment outcomes. Michigans economy and the
unemployment rate is the highest in the nation, which directly affects
employment opportunities for all citizens including those with disabilities
in obtaining gainful employment. The agencys strategic plan emphasizes the
need to be aware of employment opportunities and employment trends as the
agency works with Michigan Works! in identifying Michigans top 50 for jobs
today, jobs tomorrow so that consumers will receive training in the
emerging careers. MCB will continue to work with the National Business
Alliance, trade organizations and apprenticeship programs through its
Business Services program to expand employment opportunities for the
population that MCB serves.<br>
<br>
Indicator 1.2: Percentage of Individuals Receiving Services Who Had
Employment Outcomes. MCB was not successful in achieving this indicator.
The State of Michigan continues to have the highest unemployment rate in
the nation. This high unemployment rate directly affected the employment
outcomes for the Michigan Commission for the Blind consumers. Another
factor is that MCB faced personnel shortages which also had an affect on
the competitive employment outcomes. However, MCB continues to invest in
appropriate training for staff in job placement and other related training
to attempt to minimize the effects of the depressed labor market. MCB makes
available to counseling staff the opportunity to participate in job
placement training through the Michigan Rehabilitation Counseling Educators
Association and the Job Placement Division of the Michigan Rehabilitation
Association in order to equip the staff with the techniques to compete in
the competitive labor market. <br>
<br>
Indicator 1.3: Percentage of Individuals with Employment Outcomes Who Were
Competitively Employed. The Michigan Commission for the Blind met this
indicator with 60.32%. MCB staff is aware of the importance of establishing
relationships with community partners to collaborate with in order to
increase opportunities for consumers to expand employment options that will
result in more individuals being placed in the competitive labor market.<br>
<br>
Indicator 1.4: Percentage of Persons with Competitive Employment Outcomes
Who Had Significant Disabilities: The Michigan Commission for the Blind met
this indicator with 99.40%.<br>
<br>
Indicator 1.5: Ratio of Average VR Hourly Wage to Average Wage. MCB
continues to provide consumers with choices regarding their vocational
objectives; therefore, the development of career options has continued to
assist MCB in reaching this indicator. The agency met this indicator with
0.620%.<br>
<br>
Indicator 1.6: Difference in Percentage of individuals Achieving
Competitive Employment Who Report Own Income as Primary Source of Support
at Closure and Application. It is a goal of MCB to provide consumers with
options leading to productive careers. MCB continues to meet this indicator
with 34.23%.<br>
<br>
Indicator 2.1: Ratio of Minority to Non-Minority Service Rate. MCB
continues to emphasize the importance of outreach to minority populations
that are experiencing blindness and visual impairment. MCBs Cultural
Diversity team primary objective is to provide the agency with information
and approaches to improve services to unserved and underserved populations.
MCB met this indicator with 0.803%.<br>
<br>
MCB has four strategic teams: Service Delivery Design, Image and Identity,
Cultural Diversity and Technology that assist in the strategic planning
process to achieve the agencys goals and priorities. These teams makes
recommendations for evaluation and assessment of the agencys services,
timeliness of services, review the policy manual and procedures, identify
unserved and underserved populations, provides the agency with information
regarding new and innovative technology equipment and programs. All of the
design teams are composed of agency staff, community partners and
consumers.<br>
<br>
The Comprehensive Needs Assessment indicated that MCB should monitor the
number of males that exit the system without employment outcomes. The
Michigan Commission for the Blind (MCB) will randomly review IPEs quarterly
to determine if the programs are achieving the objectives that were established
by the consumer and counselor to provide feedback to the staff and
consumers to assist in achieving the vocational goal. <br>
<br>
MCB is collaborating with its community partners to assist in the agencys
expansion of vocational training, resources and employment outcomes.<br>
MCBs agreement with community mental health will assist in providing these
service opportunities. The agency continues to work with the Department of
Transportation to identify ways to assist in providing transportation
services to persons with disability to enable them to participate in
employment and leisure time activities. The agency encourages consumers to
participate on the local advisory counsel of transportation providers
within their geographical location. The Michigan Commission for the Blind
along with its community partners continues to collaborate on ways to
improve delivery of services to its constituents to enhance the
opportunities to acquire appropriate work skills for the purpose of
obtaining competitive employment. MCB strategy is to share information and
resources in the areas of housing and health care concerns that will assist
consumers in maintaining a productive way of life.<br>
<br>
MCB, through its working relationship with technology vendors are
constantly aware of the need to make sure that staff and consumers are
familiar with the new technology and its applications. The agency
collaborates with community organizations to make sure that their programs
and services are accessible to blind and visually impaired consumers. The
agency works with various community agencies and organizations to assist
with the appropriate technology and adaptive equipment that allows
individuals with vision impairments to utilize technology in various
programs. MCB makes available technology training for staff and consumers
on the latest technology and adaptive equipment that assist individuals in
the workforce and with daily living skills. MCB participates in two
technology fairs, one of which is sponsored in part by MCB and the Library
for the Blind and Physically Handicapped in Ann Arbor, (Vision 2008) and is
held every other year. At this technology fair more than 50 vendors display
equipment for blind and visually impaired individuals to enhance their
independence, educational, daily living and employment skills. The
Technology Blizzard held in FY 2007 in Livonia, Michigan is sponsored by a
group of agencies including the intermediate school districts. MCB
participates in the program by providing information regarding its services
as it relates to employment and independence. The blizzard features a
variety of vendors that showcase technology which assist students in their
academic endeavors and individuals seeking employment, as well as other
adaptive equipment. Both events are opened to consumers and MCB encourages
their attendance. The Michigan Commission for the Blind encourages staff to
participate in these technology events in order that they may be able to
assist their consumers with technology in all aspects of their lives. MCB
provides assistive technology services and devices to its consumers through
the provisions of individual plans for employment. The IPE specifies the
types of services, technology training and devices that will be necessary
to assist the individual in achieving their desired vocational goals
throughout the rehabilitation process.<br>
<br>
MCB provides its professional staff opportunities to further the knowledge
in the field of rehabilitation through collaborations with TACE which
provides specific training that enhance the skills and knowledge of staff
that assist consumers in achieving their goals of independence and
employment. MCB also participates in two professional training conferences
that are instrumental in helping the professional staff to become aware of
current trends in the field of rehabilitation and ways to improve service
delivery to persons with disabilities. Therese two professionals training
conferences are the Michigan Association of Educators and Rehabilitation
(MAER) and the Michigan Rehabilitation Conference. Each of these
professional conferences emphasizes the importance of counselors and other
rehabilitation providers to gain knowledge in their prospective fields. MCB
supports staff participation in these conferences. Further, the two states
consumer groups, the Michigan Association of the Blind and Visually
Impaired and the Michigan Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind
provides a statewide conference annually that provides and opportunity for
MCB staff to learn about current issues that are pertinent to persons that
are blind an visually impaired.<br>
<br>
In relations to 4.11 (d) (4), MCB continues to work to increase services to
minority populations. The objective is to increase the effectiveness of
service delivery to minorities. Through its communication and marketing
coordinator, MCB has developed brochures in an alternative format for
outreach purposes to unserved and underserved populations. These pamphlets
and brochures have been shared with MCB offices, consumers, as well with
community partners. Additional efforts are being employed to provide
services to the urban populations within the state of Michigan to increase
employment outcomes. <br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blinds priority is to expand outreach
activities. MCB is aware of the need to channel resources in the area of
unserved and underserved populations. As a result, MCBs strategic plan
emphasizes the need to increase rehabilitation services to Latino/Hispanic
Americans, African Americans, Native Americans and Arabic/Chaldean populations.
The staff of MCB received specialize training to enhance the opportunities
for the above mentioned minority groups. MCB staff participates in
Latino/Hispanic events such as the Festival Mexicana, and Hispanic Heritage
Day to provide information regarding MCB services to assist individuals in
transition activities, vocational training, job placement and independent
living. The staff is involved with the LaSed Community Action Coalition in
providing information regarding services provided by MCB, as well as
working with the local Michigan Works! located within the Hispanic
community to promote employment opportunities to individuals with blindness
and visual impairments. Job placement training for staff through TACE,
collaborative efforts with the community rehabilitation organizations and
the development of employment relationships with employers resulted in
increased outcomes for the urban population. <br>
<br>
Another unserved population that MCBs outreach activities have had a
significant impact in providing services is to the Native Americans. The
staff continues to familiarize themselves with the culture and the various
aspects of individual tribal needs. MCB staff has developed relationships
with the American Indian Health and Family Services (AIHFS) of Southeast
Michigan, Inc. that has allowed them to meet with the leaders in the
individual tribes to be able to understand their values and needs as it
relates to education, job training, and employment outcomes. The health
center serves as a facility that distributes information to the Native
American population. Through collaboration with the health center, the
agency staff has been successful in providing rehabilitation services to
seniors as well as with job ready consumers, especially working with Native
Americans in urban areas. MCB staff has established working relationships
with Native Americans at the Hannahville Reservation and at the Sioux
Reservation. As a result of the collaboration with these reservations, the
agency receives referrals throughout the year for rehabilitation
assistance. MCB is in the process of negotiating an agreement with the
director of the 121 Hannahville Indian Rehabilitation Project. The
agreement will outline procedures and practices utilized by both entities
to increase service delivery to consumers within the program. Through the
staff attendance at Pow Wows, cultural training, and dialoguing with the
elders of the tribes, the counseling staff is gradually building trust
relationships that are producing positive results. <br>
<br>
MCB continues to work with Wayne State University (WSU) Rehabilitation
Counselor program to improve outcomes for the African American population.
The rehabilitation process continues to look for avenues to increase
relationships with the African American population that will result in more
employment outcomes. WSU and MCB are collaborating on some methods to
identify practices that will enable counselors to utilize techniques in
assisting this population to achieve successful outcomes. MCB is working
with an urban school district to implement a specialized educational
program that will focus on students to obtain a high school diploma or
general educational degree. MCBs agreements with intermediate school
districts will enable the agency to work closely with this program. <br>
<br>
MCBs innovation and expansion project is utilized to assist in employment
and communications efforts to all MCB consumers, as well as minority
populations through the Newsline. The unserved and underserved populations
are able to secure job leads and information regarding training
opportunities.<br>
<br>
MCBs priority is to develop cooperative working relations with the Office
of Aging and the Area Agency on Aging to improve and expand services to
seniors that are blind and visually impaired. The development of this
partnership will provide for more services to be available for the senior
blind, which includes adaptive technology, daily living and employment
skills. This partnership will expand training services statewide enabling
consumers to receive personal skill development.<br>
<br>
MCB, through its collaboration with community partners and employers, has
established a goal to rehabilitate 176 consumers with competitive outcomes.
These individuals will participate in rehabilitation programs that will equip
them to enter into the labor market with skills that will enable them to
obtain gainful employment as well as fringe benefits. MCB will employ the
assistance of the Michigan Works!, the National Business Network, labor
market information and local employers to achieve the employment outcomes.
These activities underscore the efforts of the agency to provide services
to individuals as well as those that receive services through the Supported
Employment program.<br>
<br>
The transition initiative is a top priority of MCB. MCB have participated
in the Michigan Transition Initiative (MTI) conference to gain knowledge as
well as to share information regarding proven practices in regards to
transition opportunities. MCB, through its collaborative efforts with
intermediate school districts in various locations of the state continues
to develop summer transition programs that enable students to develop soft
skills, work experience and educational endeavors thereby preparing these
individuals for independent living and employment readiness. These
transition activities are being expanded to provide opportunities for
students to participate throughout the academic year. One of the mechanisms
that MCB utilizes in the Transition program is the Youth Low Vision
program. This program identifies youths with visual impairments and
provides head-borne devices to assist in the academic endeavors as well as
activities in daily living. MCB continues to develop agreements with the
intermediate school districts to facilitate transition opportunities for
students at an earlier age.<br>
<br>
MCB will initiate a practice focusing on the minority males and females;
specifically, Hispanic/Latinos and African Americans. MCB will collaborate
with minority businesses that are located in their communities in order to
develop relationships that lead to employment opportunities. MCB will work
closely with its counselors in the development of IPEs to improve
communications to involve consumers in appropriately selecting vocational
goals through the provision of information relating to labor market, green
job development within Michigan and with the No Worker Left Behind program
in order to improve successful employment outcomes. <br>
<br>
The agency continues to develop working relationships with it community
partners to promote employment opportunities for support employment
consumers. The development of an agreement with the Department of Community
Mental Health will expand opportunities to increase involvement with local
CMHs resulting in more referrals to the agency. It also provides provisions
for natural supports and long term follow along. Theses activities are
expected to assist the agency in expanding employment opportunities for
this population. The agency will work with its community partners to
develop competitive employment opportunities within the individuals
community.<br>
<br>
In relation to use of Title I funds, the Michigan Commission for the Blind
provides documents in an accessible format and languages which includes
brochures, pamphlets as well as captions on videos and DVDs. MCB
distributes materials for outreach activities to a variety of agencies and
organizations to inform them of the types of services that MCB provides to
persons with disabilities and specifically to those that are blind and
visually impaired. MCB collaborates with community partners, as well as
rehabilitation agencies, colleges and universities and other training
facilities to provide assistive technology services and devices. MCB
provides employers with technology assessment for prospective employees and
work with employers to determine the appropriate technology that may be
necessary for specific job duties. <br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blind uses Title I funds to develop and
refine the Business Services program to establish relationships with
employers. Through the marketing activities of the Business Services staff,
the Commission is assisting employers to find qualified individuals to meet
their employment needs. The Commission participates in the National
Business Employment Network to increase opportunities for blind and
visually impaired individuals to obtain employment from national companies.
The Business Services program is an intricate part of MCBs rehabilitation
process. This program works collaborative with the Michigan Works! and
employers within the geographic areas of the state. The marketing
activities of the Business Services program emphasize the importance of
collaborating with the Chamber of Commerce, Business Leadership Network and
the National Business Employment Network to develop opportunities for the
agencys consumers to obtain gainful employment. The Business Services
program also provides employers with an array of services to assist
companies in maintaining and retaining qualified employees. MCBs affiliation
with the National Business Employment Network will provide another resource
to promote a greater opportunity nationally for individuals with visual
impairments and blindness to become successfully employed.<br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blind partners with a variety of community
organizations to provide vocational training for the blind and visually
impaired individuals. Through the collaboration with the Michigan
Rehabilitation Services (MRS) and other community agencies, a forum was
established to discussed service gaps and duplication for persons with
disabilities. The Partnership Forum identified gaps in the delivery of
services as well as duplication of services that proved to be extremely
helpful in developing meaningful programs that lead to employment outcomes.
The agencies collaborated to provide information regarding transition best
practices and apprenticeships opportunities. MCB collaborates with
statewide workforce investment system (Michigan Works!) to increase program
development that will provide assessments, vocational training and job
placement services. Another one of Michigan Works! program that the
Commission for the Blind is working closely to ensure that MCBs consumers
are included in is the No Worker Left Behind (NWLB) initiative. This
program provides training for underemployed individuals in specific
careers. The state has identified some priority careers; such as,
healthcare, technology, construction, accounting, and trades. MCBs
relationship with the Michigan Works! has expanded over the past year. The
agency is aware of the importance of partnering with Michigan Works! in
order to foster employment opportunities for the population that it serves.
Throughout the state, and in various Michigan Works! offices, the
Commission for the Blind is co-located on an itinerant basis. Some of the
Michigan Works! locations in which MCB has a presence are: Flint,
Marquette, Monroe, Clinton Township, Detroit, Down River, Lansing, Ann
Arbor, Kalamazoo and Adrian. The development of these working relationships
with the Michigan Works! will enable the Commission consumers to utilize
their services and their employment search. The agency partners with the
Michigan Works! offices to provide job fairs and other job expos for
persons that are unemployed, which includes persons with disabilities.
These activities are to assist in the reduction of persons who are
underemployed and unemployed in the state. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

#1 Professional Development<br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blinds priority is to provide staff with
professional training to enable them to be aware of current knowledge and
information regarding the rehabilitation process that will equip them to
meet the demands of its consumers in an ever changing labor market. MCB
continues to pursue additional learning opportunities for staff in the
area of job development and job placement. All new staff, along with
current staff, continues to be trained in the latest techniques in job
development and job placement as well as technology and accommodation
assessments necessary to assist consumers in obtaining and maintaining
employment. The staff participates in several training programs
throughout the year. The Michigan Rehabilitation Conference is an annual
event where staff can gain knowledge and information regarding numerous
topics relating to the provision of rehabilitation services to persons
with disabilities, such as, ethics, diversity, cultural competencies,
transition from school to work, and personality disorders. Through this
training conference, the staff is able to obtain continuing education
credits and to expand their knowledge regarding service delivery to
consumers. MCB emphasizes the importance of developing skills in the area
of job placement and employer relationship building; however, the agency
is experiencing a reduction in training as a result of the state limited
revenue. The agency goal is to continue to provide as many staff as
possible with appropriate training to compliment them in their job tasks.
As a result of reduced training opportunities, the agency has focused
more closely on types of training that relates to its goals and
objectives. MCB is aware that training is imperative for staff to be
equipped with skills and abilities to participate in an ever-changing
society. <br>
<br>
Goal #2 Technology Training<br>
<br>
MCB continues to explore current technology for staff and consumers. MCBs
web based case management system (System 7) provides staff with valuable
data that enables them to effectively manage their case loads which
allows them to provide timely services to its consumers. MCB has a
Technology committee that provides the agency with updated information
regarding new equipment and devices that are being developed that could
be of assistance to the staff in carrying out their responsibilities and
assisting consumers in obtaining their goals. MCB has a technology coordinator
who provides staff information regarding new technology and its usage in
employment applications and provides staff and consumers with training on
the latest adaptive equipment. <br>
<br>
Goal #3 Collaboration with community partners<br>
<br>
The agency through its collaborative efforts has developed meaningful
relationships with its community partners, which have provided expanded
opportunities for MCBs consumers to gain vocational training, job
placement and employment outcomes. As a participating partner of the
Partnership Forum, MCB along with MRS and other community rehabilitation
organizations discussed ways to eliminate duplications and gaps that
directly affected the employment outcomes of individuals with
disabilities. The three workgroups (Soft Skills, Marketing and
Communication) that emanated from the Partnership Forum made
recommendations which have been implemented and the Partners for
Employment of Persons with Disabilities (PEPD) group is monitoring the
results of the recommendations to determine the impact on employment
outcomes and the bridging of gaps in employment activities. The overall
objective of these groups continues to work to improve employability and
job retention.<br>
<br>
MCBs priority is to work effectively with Michigan Works! offices. The agreements
with Michigan Works! outline accessibility and necessary adaptive
equipment that will encourage consumers to utilize these service centers
for employment assistance. The Michigan Works! offices are equipped with
adaptive equipment that allows blind and visually impaired individuals to
access their services in the same way their peers access job search
services. MCB is working with the One-Stop Centers to remove barriers
that prevent blind and visually impaired consumers from accessing their
programs and services. The accessibility is gradually improving and
greater emphasis will be placed on this priority. MCBs itinerant staff is
co-located at several of the Michigan Works! offices resulting in
increased use of their services by blind and visually impaired
individuals as they attempt to obtain gainful employment. As a result of
the collaboration with the Michigan Works! MCB has been successful in
increasing consumer participation at various sites. Consumers have been
able to take part in orientation programs and other trainings at some
Michigan Works! offices. <br>
<br>
MCB, through its collaboration with community partners and employers, had
established a goal to rehabilitate 186 consumers with competitive
outcomes. These individuals participated in rehabilitation programs that
equipped them to enter into the labor market with skills that enabled
them to obtain gainful employment as well as fringe benefits. MCB was
successful in assisting 176 consumers in obtaining gainful employment in
a variety of occupations. MCB will continue to partner with the Michigan
Works!, the National Business Network, and utilize the labor market
information and local employers to increase and achieve the employment
objective. The agency continues to focus on individuals who can benefit
from supported employment services as MCB expands their working
relationships with the Michigan Department of Community Mental Health
through the development of an agreement that provides for increase
services and employment outcomes. These and other activities underscore
the importance of collaboration and partnering with employers and other
community agencies to provide timely services to individuals who are
blind and visually impaired.<br>
<br>
Goal #4 - Transition<br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blind Transition program works in
conjunction with the Youth Low Vision program that provides expanded
vocational opportunities as well as pre-employment skill development for
youths. The Youth Low Vision program provides youths with low vision
evaluations and devices that are used in educational settings and daily
living activities. MCB has agreements with all of the major intermediate
school districts (ISD) to develop job shadowing opportunities, work
experience and internship programs for high school youths to assist
students in developing the needed skills for transitioning from school to
work. MCB continues to expand its transition objectives for high school
students with ISDs to develop agreements and working relationships to
provide the transition activities within these districts for individuals
that are blind and visually impaired. MCBs Business Enterprise Program
(BEP) Summer Work Opportunity Program (SWOP) for youths in high school
and college opens opportunities for individuals to obtain valuable work experience
and further introduces the small business entrepreneur concepts to
individuals in transition programs. As a result, the program provided
opportunities for several youths to gain valuable work experience. MCB is
expecting this program will continue to grow; thereby, providing
opportunities for transitioning students to be exposed to the food
service industry. MCBs agreement with Opportunities Unlimited for the
Blind provides transition services to youths during the summer where
youths will have an opportunity to participate in summer camp activities;
such as, independent living, socialization, communication skills and
employment opportunities. MCB has been involved in this transition
experience for more than three years and students are participating as
the program content expands to include several additional skills that
enhance employment opportunities. <br>
<br>
Goal #5 Minority Outreach<br>
<br>
As mentioned in section 4.11 (d) (2) MCBs strategic plan emphasizes the
need to increase rehabilitation services to Latino/Hispanics, African
Americans, Native Americans and Arabic/Chaldean Americans. The staff of
MCB received specialized training to work effectively with and expand
opportunities for the above mentioned minority groups. MCB continues to
participate in Latino/Hispanic events such as the Festival Mexicana, and
Hispanic Heritage Day to provide information regarding MCB services to
assist individuals in transition activities, vocational training, job
placement and independent living. The staff is involved with the LaSed
Community Action Coalition where they share information regarding MCB
services, as well as working with the local Michigan Works! located
within the Hispanic community to promote employment opportunities to
individuals with blindness and visual impairment. MCB provides brochures
in Spanish and Arabic as well as in alternative formats. MCB staff
continues to collaborate with the American Indian Health and Family
Services (AIHFS) of Southeast Michigan, Inc. that has enabled them to
work with individual tribes to promote independence, education, job
training, and employment outcomes. The health center serves as a facility
that distributes information to the Native American population. Through
collaboration with the health center the agency staff has been successful
in providing rehabilitation services to seniors as well as with job ready
consumers, especially working with Native Americans in urban areas. As a
result of these activities, MCB increased referrals from minority
populations. <br>
<br>
MCB staff has established working relationships with the Native Americans
at the Hannahville Reservation and at the Sioux Reservation. As a result
of the collaboration with the reservations and other community resources,
the agency continues to see an increase in referrals throughout the year
for rehabilitation assistance. The staff continues to familiarize
themselves with the culture and the various aspects of individual tribal
needs. Through the staff attendance at Pow Wows, cultural training,
collaborations with the elders of the tribes and the local school
districts, the counseling staff is gradually building trust relationships
that continues to produce positive results. <br>
<br>
MCB continues to work with Wayne State University (WSU) Rehabilitation
Counselor program to identify methods that will assist in improving
outcomes for the African American population that will result in more
employment outcomes. WSU and MCB have collaborated on methods to
identified practices that will enable counselors to utilize techniques in
assisting this population to achieve successful outcomes. As a result of
the collaboration, the university and MCB have developed seminars that
focus on issues of visual impairments and blindness as a counseling
approach to assist graduate students to be aware of the dynamics of the
disability and to provide comprehensive approaches to affectively improve
outcomes. MCBs work with urban school districts to continue to support
the need for African American special education students to obtain high
school diploma or general educational degree has shown minimal progress;
although, efforts are continuing to be employed because of the increased
need to combat this growing concern of high school drop outs, which
includes persons with disabilities.<br>
<br>
MCB continues to provide the Arab American Council as well as health
facilities with information regarding MCBs programs and services. An Arab
American consumer of the agency is still an active member of the Dearborn
Disability Council that provides information to the city regarding issues
relating to persons with disabilities. This consumer continues to inform
the agency about events and activities that enables the Commissions staff
to participate. MCB provides brochures in their language which has had a
positive effect on the agency in receiving referrals for this population.<br>
<br>
Goal #6 Employment Outcomes<br>
<br>
The state of Michigan economy has been impacted by a severe reduction in
manufacturing and other employment opportunities. The job outlook for
Michigan continues to be depressed and the predictions are that the
economic upturn will not be experienced by Michigan until FY 2011.
Michigan continues to have extreme high unemployment in most categories
of the labor market. As a result of high unemployment and lack of jobs,
it becomes more difficult for persons with disabilities and especially
blind and visually impaired individuals to obtain gainful employment.
MCB, through its collaboration with community partners and employers, had
established a goal to rehabilitate 186 consumers in 2008 with competitive
outcomes. Due to the continuing down turn in employment in the state of
Michigan, with the highest employment rate in the country, the agency was
able to rehabilitate 176 individuals. MCBs goal is to rehabilitate 176
consumers to achieve competitive employment outcomes for 2009. MCB will
continue to employ the assistance of the Michigan Works!, the National
Business Network, and utilizing labor market information and local
employers to achieve the employment objective. These activities
underscore the efforts of the agency to provide services to individuals
as well as those that receive services through the Supported Employment
program. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

#7 Supported Employment<br>
<br>
The Michigan Commission for the Blind serves the more severely disabled
individuals through the Supported Employment program. This program provides
an array of supported services to assist these individuals in achieving a
competitive employment outcome. The Support Employment program provides
opportunities for individuals with multiple disabilities and those with
deaf/blindness which includes Rubella and Ushers syndrome. The agencys
goals are to continue to collaborate with various community
rehabilitation organizations, community mental health agencies and
intermediate school districts to obtain appropriate referrals for
vocational exploration and rehabilitation services. The staff will work
with the community rehabilitation organizations to develop employment
opportunities that will encourage community integration. Each of the
community rehabilitation organizations emphasize specific programs that
allows for individualized program development. The agency has been
instrumental in working with a number of the rehabilitation organizations
to provide specialize training for supported employment individuals who
are blind and visually impaired, as well as consumers that are
deaf/blind. These programs include, but not limited to, clerical
activities, food services, and janitorial for consumers. MCB discussed
with community mental health the importance of establishing long term
follow-up services to maintain the employment activities for supported
employment consumers, as well as the need for auxiliary aids to enhance
their daily living skills and employment outcomes. <br>
<br>
The staff will utilize supported employment funds to develop vocational
opportunities for the most severely disabled individuals to achieve
employment outcomes. As the agency continues to explore opportunities and
collaborate with its community partners to increase vocational choices,
it was anticipated that MCB would provide services to 45 individuals;
however, MCB continues to work with its partners to increase service
delivery to supported employment consumers. MCB was able to successfully
assist 16 supported employment consumers in becoming gainfully employed.
This objective is among MCBs top priority to continue expanding program
opportunities for multiple impaired individual through the use of
supported employment funds. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

1.1: Number of Individuals with Employment Outcomes. The Michigan
Commission for the Blind projection for the number of individuals with
employment outcomes that was set by the agency was not achieved, as well
as compared with the national average. Therefore, MCB reviewed its
training objectives and have focused its attention on specific areas of
training that will equip the staff with additional techniques and
resources to help meet its goals of employment outcomes. Michigans
economy and the unemployment rate is the highest in the nation, which
directly affects employment opportunities for all citizens including
those with disabilities in obtaining gainful employment. The agencys
strategic plan emphasizes the need to be aware of employment
opportunities and employment trends as the agency works with Michigan
Works! in identifying Michigans top 50 for jobs today, jobs tomorrow so
that consumers will receive training in the emerging careers. MCB will
continue to work with the National Business Alliance, trade organizations
and apprenticeship programs through its Business Services program to
expand employment opportunities for the population that MCB serves.<br>
<br>
Indicator 1.2: Percentage of Individuals Receiving Services Who Had
Employment Outcomes. MCB was not successful in achieving this indicator.
The State of Michigan continues to have the highest unemployment rate in
the nation. This high unemployment rate directly affected the employment
outcomes for the Michigan Commission for the Blind consumers. Another
factor is that MCB faced personnel shortages which also had an affect on
the competitive employment outcomes. However, MCB continues to invest in
appropriate training for staff in job placement and other related
training to attempt to minimize the effects of the depressed labor
market. MCB makes available to counseling staff the opportunity to
participate in job placement training through the Michigan Rehabilitation
Counseling Educators Association and the Job Placement Division of the
Michigan Rehabilitation Association in order to equip the staff with the
techniques to compete in the competitive labor market. <br>
<br>
Indicator 1.3: Percentage of Individuals with Employment Outcomes Who
Were Competitively Employed. The Michigan Commission for the Blind met
this indicator with 60.32%. MCB staff is aware of the importance of
establishing relationships with community partners to collaborate with in
order to increase opportunities for consumers to expand employment
options that will result in more individuals being placed in the
competitive labor market.<br>
<br>
Indicator 1.4: Percentage of Persons with Competitive Employment Outcomes
Who Had Significant Disabilities: The Michigan Commission for the Blind
met this indicator with 99.40%.<br>
<br>
Indicator 1.5: Ratio of Average VR Hourly Wage to Average Wage. MCB
continues to provide consumers with choices regarding their vocational
objectives; therefore, the development of career options has continued to
assist MCB in reaching this indicator. The agency met this indicator with
0.620%.<br>
<br>
Indicator 1.6: Difference in Percentage of individuals Achieving
Competitive Employment Who Report Own Income as Primary Source of Support
at Closure and Application. It is a goal of MCB to provide consumers with
options leading to productive careers. MCB continues to meet this
indicator with 34.23%.<br>
<br>
Indicator 2.1: Ratio of Minority to Non-Minority Service Rate. MCB
continues to emphasize the importance of outreach to minority populations
that are experiencing blindness and visual impairment. MCBs Cultural
Diversity team primary objective is to provide the agency with
information and approaches to improve services to unserved and
underserved populations. MCB met this indicator with 0.803%. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

partnering with community rehabilitation agencies and community mental
health organizations, the Commission for the Blind has been able to develop
employment opportunities within the community that allow for consumers to benefit
from the training in employment outcomes. MCBs supported employment
consumers participate in various components of the program. The Commission
utilizes job coaching and the follow-along services to maximize employment
opportunities. The Michigan Commission for the Blind encourages placement
in an integrated setting within the individuals community. MCBs staff and
community partners work collaboratively to make a smooth transition to
extended services. Once eligibility has been established and an assessment
has occurred to identify the level of functioning in the vocational goal,
the extended services are initiated. The extended services often depend
upon community location as well as the availability of community
organizations to provide the supports. The time period may extend up to 18
months. Frequently, MCB has incorporated natural supports in the IPE that
will enable them to maintain their employment. The Commission for the Blind
received $103,206 to provide comprehensive training and job placement for
approximately 30 consumers. The agency continues to collaborate with
Community Mental Health to establish the needed follow-along services in
order to enable more consumers to be successfully employed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
