[Rehab] Informed Choice in Job Jeopardy Cases

[Justin Williams]

Ipes are how Voc Rehab counselors do business.  You shouldn't be serving
anyone without one.

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your reply.

This person was told that job jeopardy cases do not get IPE's. This person
is in a state with a fully closed Order of Selection, so that nobody can
sign up for VR services. Apparently, the state is trying to figure out how
to start serving people via job jeopardy cases first, so they think they can
give job jeopardy services but not sign people up for a VR case with an IPE.
Does a standard job jeopardy case involve an Individualized Plan for
Employment?

This person was told that there was no ability to choose their own vendors,
such as who they might want to work with to receive rehabilitation teaching
services. This agency tries to deny informed choice with every single one of
their customers, so it's not really surprising, but I was skeptical of their
argument that job jeopardy cases did not afford customers informed choice. 

Do you have more info to add?

Thank you,

Justin

Justin,

What was the rationale for not having the person on an IPE? Even with a job
in jeopardy case this should still be on an IPE. Informed choice should
apply to any service received from the agency. It does not of course imply
that the client receieves anything they choose but one the less is still an
important consideration for the client and in the life of the case.

Best regards,
Ian
