For people directly involved with vocational evaluation, rationale and guidelines are presented for developing individual evaluation plans (IEPs) to meet the needs of handicapped clients. Functions served by the IEP are discussed: (1) master plan of the purposes and objectives of an evaluation; (2) written record of the assessment techniques used, who was involved in carrying out the evaluation, and the extent to which specific goals were achieved, and (3) insurance that the client's unique needs are considered. The individual evaluation planning standards developed by the Vocational Evaluation and Work Adjustment Association (VEWAA) in 1977 are quoted and the individual components discussed: writing and individualizing the evaluation plan, identifying referral questions, specifying assessment techniques and methods, listing persons involved and role clarification, and plan review and modification. To illustrate the process referral information on a specific client from a field counselor is used to develop an individual evaluation plan. Four additional IEP formats are appended. (JT)
