In the Eligibility process, the consumer and DOR counselor will: Obtain and review medical and other information to determine how the consumer’s disability or combination of disabilities affect his or her ability to work; and Determine how DOR services can help the consumer to establish and maintain employment. Once DOR receives complete information about the consumer’s disability, the counselor will make a determination of eligibility for DOR services and will notify the consumer in writing.

Referral and Eligibility. THE INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PROGRAM—A parent, teacher, service provider, or student age 18 or older can begin a referral for evaluation. When a request is made, the Local Education Agency (LEA) has 15 days to respond. The district will either develop an assessment plan or will inform whoever made the referral that the district declines to initiate assessment at this time and provide reasons. If an evaluation is recommended, the parents must give consent in writing and once that consent has been received, the district has 60 days to complete the assessment(s) and hold an IEP meeting. If the student is eligible and the IEP team determines Special Education Program (SEP) services are needed to address student’s needs, an IEP will be developed.
