Step 4: Work Needs Assessment

Who completes the work needs assessment?

• An Assigned Professional, under the guidance of a VR Counselor, will gather relevant information- IEP, interviews with student, interests inventories, and begin to develop the Individual Plan for Employment with input from the student. The student participates in the decision making on his/her career goals.

What if my child is deemed “unemployable”?

• If a students says they want to work, VR will provide services to assist the student in determining an appropriate career goal based on their abilities.
