limits the child in five general areas of functioning, including: communication, mobility, interpersonal skills, self-care, and work tolerance. Based on this assessment, the DR counselor will give the child a LSOD score and that represents the significance of the child’s work-related limitations. The LSOD assessment score will usually be completed within 90 days of application. Vocational Rehabilitation Needs Assessment The child and DR counselor will discuss the child’s interests and abilities and decide what services and assistance the child will need to obtain or retain appropriate employment. The child will be given information and encouraged to make choices throughout the vocational rehabilitation process. Individualized Plan for Employment (IEP) Once the child has completed the assessment process, is found eligible for services, and is placed in a priority category being served, the next step will be to develop the child’s Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) with the DR counselor. The IPE is the child’s written plan listing the child’s job objective and DR services the child will receive in order to find and maintain employment. The DR counselor will give the child information throughout the IPE process, so he/she can make meaningful choices about his/her plan. The child and DR counselor will discuss the child’s unique strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and informed choice as they develop the plan. The plan must be signed by the child and parent if the child is a minor and by a child who has reached the age of majority.
