This updated comprehensive plan for the New York State Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) for 1987-91 establishes priorities for the agency that will continue to enhance the vocational opportunities of people with disabilities in the state. The comprehensive plan describes the rehabilitation system, provides program data, and discusses issues that will affect vocational rehabilitation during the next four years. The plan reflects a number of integral themes in the OVR's vocational rehabilitation philosophy, including (1) the focus on employment as a desired outcome; (2) the key role of the vocational rehabilitation counselor; (3) the individualized nature of vocational rehabilitation; (4) client-centered outcomes; (5) the need for interagency cooperation; (6) changing needs of different groups; (7) public input into the planning process; and (8) the role of OVR as an advocate for persons with disabilities. Key plan action items are based on the 1986 Amendments to the Rehabilitation Act and comments from regional forums. For each action, the plan lists a number of methods to accomplish the goal and how the expected outcomes related to each key action will be achieved. The plan also provides an overview of the vocational rehabilitation process from referral to job placement and describes the place of the New York State OVR within the State Education Department. (KC)
