I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed Waiver Services - Section 12 VAC 30-120.  As a provider of Supported Employment services, I am fully aware of the need for specialized education as well as extensive and on-going training in order to best serve SE clients.  Individuals meeting the proposed base requirements listed under these Fast Track Regulations may not necessarily be adequately equiped to provide the supports necessary for the clients served. The needs of the client must be met by trained and qualified service providers; otherwise, the intended "service" may be rendered a disservice.  I urge you to reconsider the  proposed Waiver Services - Section 12 VAC 30-120 in order to provide clients with the specialized services that they  deserve.

I would like to be kept informed of the progress of proposed Waiver Services - Section 12 VAC 30-120 and can be reached at Richard.Lucyshyn@thechoicegroup.com
