I object to the proposed Waiver Services Section 12- VAC 30-120.  The proposed waiver services will jeopardize the quality and integrity of supported employment services among customers and employers who currently use this service.  Job coaches are trained professionals who specialize in providing supported employment services to individuals with disabilities and have gained respect among employers in the community by providing services in a professional and consistent manner.  Employers are attracted to the benefits of working with professional Employment Services Organizations such as highly qualified job coaches providing on and off-site support, liability insurance offered by ESO's, and the professional communication that occurs among all parties in regards to placements.  Employers have grown to expect and appreciate the professional level of services that Employment Services Organizations offer.  Most importantly, customers are more adequately served by trained, professional staff, who come from ESO's that have met the stringent requirements outlined by CARF and that follow "best practice" in terms of service delivery.
