I have an objection to the proposed Waiver Services-Section 12VAC 30-120.  Supported Employment professionals and agencies work hard to maintain the integrity of the services that are provided to the business community.  The business community expects a certain level of professionalism as well as service delivery to meet their employment needs.  The industry’s reputation is continuously at stake.  One bad experience with an employee in a Supported Employment model can jeopardize the relationship with that employer and can lead to other employers not wanting to hire someone else who uses the Supported Employment model, often employers will share their bad experiences with other colleagues.  This said, CD SE providers should have the same qualifications and requirements as agency directed SE professionals.  My email address is vrhame@goodwillcva.org
