school, and home.

The
Office for the Blind, an agency of the Department for Workforce Investment,
provides opportunities to individuals with visual disabilities so they
may improve or develop their skills for obtaining or maintaining employment
and become more independent and productive in the community and workplace. It is a combination state/federal agency regulated
by the Rehabilitation Act as amended in 1998, and Kentucky Revised Statutes,
163.450-470.
2. EligibilityHow
will my eligibility for services be determined?
-
You must have a visual disability. -
You must need vocational rehabilitation services in order to prepare
for, secure, retain, or regain employment. -
Your disability must result in a substantial impediment to employment.
3. Order of SelectionWhat
is the order of selection?
If
a determination is made that the Office lacks available funds for
all eligible individuals who apply for services, then the Office
shall follow an order of selection.
Service priority is based upon the significance of any individual’s
disability and the services needed to achieve the employment outcome.
4. EvaluationWhat
information is needed to determine my eligibility and the services I
will need?
To
determine eligibility, your visual disability must be documented by
an eye examination provided by an ophthalmologist, optometrist or with
information provided by the Social Security Administration which establishes
your eligibility for that program.
To
help you determine what rehabilitation services you may need to become
employed, the Office may provide other appropriate medical, vocational,
work adjustment, technological and educational evaluations. Existing records will be used whenever possible.
5. Consumer ResponsibilitiesWhat
are my responsibilities?
To
participate as a full partner in the vocational rehabilitation process
by making meaningful and informed choices as to your rehabilitation
needs, selection of your employment goal or outcome, the services needed
to achieve the outcome, service providers and methods used to secure
services outlined in your Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE).
To
follow through with appointments needed for medical exams, evaluations
and training to work toward achieving the goals that you set on your
IPE and take an active role in obtaining employment to enable a successful
outcome of your vocational goal.
When your case record is closed, you will be
asked to participate in a consumer satisfaction survey. A private third party will conduct the survey.
Your responses will be kept confidential.
This information will be to assist the Office in improving
services for future consumers.
6. Role of the CounselorWhat
exactly is the role of my counselor?
Your
vocational rehabilitation counselor has specialized training and experience
in the rehabilitation of individuals with visual impairments and understands
how this relates to your life, the community and the workplace. Your counselor can assist you in building relationships,
aligning resources and making informed choices concerning your vocational
goal.
Your
counselor will act as a facilitator to assist you in determining your
strengths and potential so that your Individualized Plan for Employment
will incorporate the services that can lead to a successful job and
career.
Your
IPE will be consistent with your strengths, resources, priorities, concerns,
abilities, capabilities, interest and informed choice.
7. Consumer ChoiceWhat
choices do you have?
You are assured the right to choose providers and services.
Information and support services will be available to assist
you in exercising this right of informed choice.
You
are assured the right to choose providers and services. Information and support services will be available
to assist you in exercising this right of informed choice.
Appeal
rights are given to you at application, when your Individualized Plan
for Employment is developed, when substantial amendments are made to
your IPE, and at the time your case record is closed.
More information regarding your appeal rights is provided in
the appendix of this handbook.
Your counselor has an obligation to make certain you
understand every aspect of your IPE.
An IPE shall be developed and implemented in a manner
that affords you as an eligible individual the opportunity to exercise
informed choice in selecting an employment outcome, the specific vocational
rehabilitation services to be provided under the plan, the entity that
will provide the vocational rehabilitation services, and the methods
used to procure the services.
8. Individualized Plan For EmploymentHow
will my individual needs be met?
The
IPE should be the result of a partnership between you and a qualified
vocational rehabilitation counselor.
The Office will provide information about mandatory components
of the IPE and the forms that may be used.
The emphasis of this plan must be on your attainment of a specific
goal that will lead to employment in the competitive labor market, the
practice of a profession, self-employment, homemaking or a successful
employment outcome in the community.
Your vocational goal will be tailored to your abilities and capacities.
There
are four options for the development of the IPE; you can: 1) develop all your
IPE with the assistance of a qualified Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor;
2) develop part of your IPE without assistance of a qualified Vocational
Rehabilitation Counselor; 3) develop your IPE without assistance; or
4) develop your IPE with assistance from another source (including your
representative).
Your
IPE will list the services you are going to receive, the providers of
the services, any similar benefits available, a plan to evaluate your
progress toward your goal and your views regarding this program of services.
9. Change in Individualized Plan for EmploymentWhat
if my goals are not achieved?
Your
IPE may be reviewed by you and your counselor and changes can be made
at any time. Counselors are
required to review your IPE annually with you.
Your counselor may be contacted at anytime if you have changes.
If
you and your counselor determine that you are not able to achieve your
vocational goal or an appropriate employment outcome, even after looking
at other alternatives, then services may be discontinued. It is important to contact your counselor immediately
if you are not able to complete services or there has been a major change
in your life.

and to maintain quality, the Office for the Blind operates under
state regulations, which govern the scope, nature and costs of its services.
Any service provided must relate to your employment goal.
More

12. Payment of Services Will
I have to pay for any services?
There
is no requirement by the Office that your financial need be considered
in the provision of services. However,
each individual who is determined to be eligible for services shall
be asked to voluntarily participate to help pay the costs associated
with the IPE. No services shall be denied to an eligible
individual who does not have the available resources or who refuses
to participate in the cost of the IPE.
13. Purchase of ServicesHow
are services purchased?
All
services purchased must be approved in advance by your counselor, who
will send a written payment authorization to each services provider
prior to the service being provided.
You have freedom of choice in service providers, but they must
be appropriately licensed according to state law, and the Office
may not pay in excess of the amount allowed under the Office rate
of payment schedule.
14. Services for High School StudentsDoes
the Office for the Blind provide for services high school students?
The
Office is not able to purchase services for individuals who are
in primary and secondary schools. However,
if you are a student in high school, your counselor will meet with you
and your parents, your teachers and other school officials to help you
plan your career goals and transition from school to work.
15. Agency-operated ProgramsWhat
service programs does the agency operate?
The
Charles McDowell Center in Louisville, Kentucky provides specialized
services to Kentuckians with visual disabilities who want to develop
the skills to function independently and become employed. The
programs are geared toward development of independence and employment
outcomes. The vocational rehabilitation
instructors and staff are available to assess and train in the following
areas:
Life skills: Counseling, Career Development, Orientation & Mobility, Assistive technology, Therapeutic recreation, Adult basic education, Health education
Many
of the same specialized training services provided at the McDowell Center
are also available in your community.
They are provided by professionals located at regional offices
of the Office who travel to your community to provide these services.
16. Kentucky Business EnterprisesDoes
the Office for the Blind operate any employment programs just for
persons who are blind?
Yes. Kentucky Business Enterprises is a program
that trains and supports individuals who are legally blind to be self-employed
operators of snack bars, vending facilities and cafeterias in public
and private buildings throughout Kentucky.
You may wish to speak with your counselor regarding the availability
of job opportunities with Kentucky Business Enterprises.
17. Obligations to Other AgenciesWhat
if I am eligible for similar services or benefits from other agencies? Do I have to use them?
Yes. You are required by federal law to use any
other benefits for which you are eligible. These similar benefits include
training grants (financial aid, Pell Grant), Medicaid, Medicare, insurance
and any needed equipment that an employer or other agency may purchase.
This funding, whether it is partial or full funding will help reduce
the overall cost of your services to the Office.
If you refuse benefits for which you are eligible, then we cannot
pay for the service.
18. Right of AppealWhat
if I am dissatisfied?
If
you are dissatisfied for any reason with the provision or denial of
services, the Office has established an appeals process. Any determinations made by personnel of the Office that affect
the provision of vocational rehabilitation services to applicants or
eligible individuals are subject to this process.
We
have found that dissatisfaction often can be resolved on an informal
basis. If you are dissatisfied
with any of your service delivery, please refer to the Consumer Appeal
Rights in the appendix.
19. Client Assistance ProgramWhat
is the Client Assistance Program?
The
Client Assistance Program assists in your relationship with the Office
for the Blind. The staff can

available from state and federal agencies, help ensure the protection
of your rights, and help resolve your concerns with the Office regarding

The
provision of services under your IPE has contributed to the achievement
of an employment outcome and you have maintained the employment for
a period of at least 90 days. The
determination of a successful closure can be made only by a qualified
vocational rehabilitation counselor.
It
has been determined that you no longer wish to achieve or are not capable
of achieving your vocational goals.
Your

will receive written notice when services are completed or ended. Our goal is to close your case with you successfully
employed.

may re-apply for services at anytime after your case is closed. It is
the responsibility of the counselor to determine whether the application
is appropriate.

Appendix E: Consumer Appeal Rights
Kentucky
Office for the Blind (KDFB) consumers are afforded certain appeal
rights if you are dissatisfied with any part of the application or service
delivery process. These appeal
rights are guaranteed to you under the Rehabilitation Act Amendments
of 1998. They are outlined, in brief, for you below.
It is recommended that you seek additional information from the
Client Assistance Program about these options.
There
are two different appeal avenues that you may pursue if you and your
counselor cannot reach agreement.
One
option is to request mediation. The
process involves your request of a mediation meeting to discuss possible
resolutions of the issues that you have.
A mediator who is not employed by KDFB, will mediate. Other people who may attend the mediation include
your counselor, the regional administrator, and other KDFB staff, as
appropriate. The mediation may
result in a negotiated written binding agreement that is voluntary for
all parties to sign. This agreement
will outline the responsibilities of each party involved in the mediation
process.
At
any time, you can request another option: an impartial hearing. The Client Assistance Program staff may assist
you throughout the impartial hearing process. A hearing officer who is not employed by KDFB will preside at the
hearing. The hearing officer
is responsible for providing a recommended order to the Secretary of
the Department for Workforce Investment.
The Secretary will issue a final decision that will be carried
out according to the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998.
If
you have questions about any of your appeal rights under the Rehabilitation
Act Amendments of 1998, please contact the Client Assistance Program.
You
are welcome to contact the Regional Administrator of the KDFB for your
area. To contact the Regional
