I am writing to support my opposition to the proposed Waiver Services - Section 12 VAC 30-120.  As a provider of Supported Employment services, I am aware of the need for specialized education and training in order to best serve SE clients in order to produce the most effective services.  The needs of our clients cannot be adequately met by someone with the minimum skills listed under these Fast Track Regulations.  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 Ericka.Umbarger@thechoicegroup.com.

Sincerely,

Ericka Umbarger, MSW
