As amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the Rehabilitation Act requires Vocational Rehabilitation state agencies to conduct a comprehensive statewide needs assessment every three years. The purpose of the assessment is to provide current and relevant information on the needs of individuals with disabilities in the District so that DCRSA can develop programs and allocate resources that will address the identified needs. The comprehensive statewide needs assessment establishes VR program priorities and will help inform the Unified State Plan developed by the core partners in The District’s Workforce Development System.
