I object to proposed Waiver services 12 VAC 30-120.  Specifically I object to CD Supported Employment services option as it relates to provider requirements.  The delivery of supported Empoyment services requires specialized knowledge and skills.  Please consider changing the language of the proposed regulation to include provider requirments of either experience in providing Individual Supported Employment services with a CARF accreditated organization or national certification in Supported Employment.  This will protect the individuals receiving the service and the integrity of the profession.  Both are important to the individuals funded through this Waiver and the future availability of placements for all individuals using Individual Supported Employment services.
