[Rehab] Introducy myself + questions about IPE and order of selection

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hello all, 
My name is Vejas and I am a rehabilitation counselor in California. I am currently in the branch for the Department of Rehabilitation that is known as VRED-the clients I work with are all sighted and have other disabilities-such as learning disabilities, PTSD, anxiety, depression etc. 
I attended the rehab professionals meeting at NFB convention which I found very helpful. I wanted to reach out as my state has been trying to get into order of selection but has not, yet. I have a few questions: 
1. Prioritizing IPE's: With a high caseload I have many people in application and eligibility status, many of whom do not have IPE's due yet. What has been yr/your team's strategy to know who to prioritize, and did you/are you trying to get everyone on your caseload in service before OOS? 
2. For these who are in  states that already went into OOS-how much time was there for you in between the OOS announcement and completing unfinished IPE's-was there a grace period? 
Thank you, 
Vejas
