32 Miss. Code. R. 21-6-6.5
An IPE shall be developed and implemented in a manner that affords eligible individuals the opportunity to exercise informed choice in selecting a specific 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. Informed Choice implies that the specific employment outcome be both realistic and achievable for the individual.
The specific employment outcome should be based upon an objective assessment of specific vocational rehabilitation needs and reflecting the individual's unique strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, career interests, and informed choice. The IPE should reflect specific vocational rehabilitation services necessary to achieve the individual's chosen employment outcome and the case file should reflect how the client was informed about and involved in choosing among alternative services. All available comparable benefits should be applied toward each service.
Information regarding available vendors, certified/licensed vendors, cost and duration of all planned services, and like information, shall be provided to the client in the appropriate accessible mode of communication. Accessibility of the vendor's location will be discussed with the client. All rehabilitation services will be provided in the least restricted and most integrated setting compatible with the client's interest and abilities.
