Info

All adults served under the DD Waiver who express an interest in obtaining employment or exploring employment opportunities will receive a Vocational Assessment Profile (VAP). (See the DDSD website to review the Vocational Assessment Profile Policy and Procedures for details.) • Once completed, information from the initial VAP must be integrated into the ISP in the Narrative and Action Plan sections, and then updated within the ISP annually. A responsible individual will be identified within the VAP Strategic Action Plan section to work with the case manager to assure this integration occurs. • If at the time of the annual ISP meeting a VAP has not yet been obtained, or the interest in work is newly identified at the ISP meeting, then the ISP Action Plan should include steps and responsible party(ies) to arrange for a VAP to be conducted. • To complete a VAP annual update within the ISP the team shall review the prior year’s VAP (whether it was a new one or an update in the ISP), discuss progress achieved on employment outcomes and reflect that progress in the Work/Education/Volunteer section of the Narrative, and then update the Action Plans and Teaching & Supported Strategies as appropriate to the individuals current circumstances. (For example, if the team discusses the individual’s desire to find a different job – then the narrative should reflect that desire and the Action Plan should include steps in supporting the individual to get a different job rather than just maintain the one they have – although they may maintain that job while they are looking for the new one.) • If after completing the annual VAP review and update, the team determines that additional information is needed to support the individual’s desired outcome(s) related to employment, then a referral should be made to DVR (with a copy to the Regional Office Supported Employment Coordinator). If the individual is currently receiving supported employment services, the supported employment provider is responsible to make this referral, (if not the case manager is responsible to make the referral to DVR). In the meantime the team shall continue to work on any employment outcomes listed in the ISP Action Plan while arrangements with DVR are underway. Who conducts the Initial VAP Jackson Class members • Facilitators approved through the DDSD/DVR process to conduct VAPs for class members, or • individuals who are being observed by a mentor approved through the DDSD/DVR approval process. (Such mentors may not work for the agency that provides employment services to the individual.) Non-Jackson Class waiver participants • Anyone approved to conduct VAPs for Jackson class members, or • identified supported employment providers with formal training in vocational assessment. (For a list of these individuals contact your Regional Office Supported Employment Coordinator.) Who Conducts the Annual VAP update Jackson Class members The team, with DVR representative if the individual has an active referral or open case with DVR Non-Jackson Class waiver participants The team (DVR should be invited and may attend) What is DVR’s role on the team • To arrange for or conduct initial VAPs • To provide technical assistance to the team related to employment 10 NM Developmental Disabilities Supports Division Individual Service Plan for Adults Instructions VERSION DATE: 5/30/2008
• To arrange appropriate short term employment supports for the individual (e.g. specialized training/education, equipment, uniforms). What if the individual is not currently interested in employment • The team must assure that the individual’s decision not to pursue or at least explore employment is an informed choice based upon discussion of employment opportunities and support options. • The reason why work is not desired at this time must be documented under the “No” box in the Work/Education/Volunteer section of the Narrative. • Individuals receiving Community Access and/or Adult Habilitation must include one or more of the following activities as part of their action plan(s) for Work/Education/Volunteer desired outcome(s). o Exploration or participation in post secondary educational activities; o Exploration of participation in volunteer activities; o Experiences with friends and peers and/or opportunities to make new friends; o Develop new hobbies or regularly participate in chosen hobby(ies); o Maintain contact with family members; o Engage in community events, education experiences and other activities and/or services where people without disabilities are involved; o Learn and develop new skills to support purposeful participation and independence in the community. Pitfall to Avoid: ‣ Using “retired” as the justification for checking “no” under work if individual is not yet 62 years old. ‣ Not providing a specific reason why the individual is not interested in work at this time if “no” is checked. ‣ Forgetting to ask whether the individual would like to participate in a VAP, even if they are not yet ready to pursue work, in order to explore potential work opportunities further. ____________________________HEALTH AND SAFETY NARRATIVE:_______________________________ HEALTH & SAFETY: Provide summary information about significant health/ medical/ dental/ behavioral/ environmental concerns, (past and present), and diagnosis’ that have implications for planning or impact on the individual’s health and safety, including what has been done to date to address these concerns. If the person’s health or skills are regressing, include that information here. (Prompt: If outlier, Supported Living Awake and/or in-home Adult Habilitation will be required, justification should go here. Also, any issues not yet addressed should be included in Health and Safety Action Plan.) Several medications have serious side effects – staff training and monitoring by agency nurse are in place. During visit to all doctors, all medications should be reviewed. Greg needs blood work every six months. Greg had speech therapy services when he was a child – but this is no longer needed To support Greg in having alone time on Friday mornings, the team has arranged for him to have his own key to the house and has programmed the “on call” number into his cell phone so he can call quickly for help if needed. During Friday morning alone time Greg will choose whether he wants to hang out at the house, take the bus to his favorite Village Inn for breakfast, walk down to the corner Starbucks or visit other nearby businesses. Greg’s health has been relatively stable the last couple of years by sticking to his gluten free diet. ↑This section of the narrative is not intended to duplicate healthcare plans developed by the nurse, but rather to summarize health and safety related considerations that have implications for planning and implementing supports for the individual. 11 NM Developmental Disabilities Supports Division Individual Service Plan for Adults Instructions VERSION DATE: 5/30/2008
