The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by WIOA, has put a heightened emphasis on the provision of services to youth with disabilities, especially those with the most significant disabilities.
OVR/OVRB serves youth with the most significant disabilities through VR's Supported Employment (SE) program. The SE program receives supplemental grant funds dedicated to the provision of SE services. MDRS is required to reserve and expend no less than fifty (50) percent of these funds to provide SE services, including extended services, to youth with the most significant disabilities. 87, 88
Please refer to Section 11.1 of this manual for a description of SE and extended services.
