Are there circumstances in which DVR requires me to participate in additional assessment activities?
(1) If the DVR counselor becomes aware of a condition or circumstance after you have developed an IPE that may affect your ability to achieve the employment outcome identified in your IPE, the DVR counselor may conduct necessary assessment services to determine whether you are capable of benefiting in terms of the specific employment outcome identified in your IPE.
(2) If you have a documented history of violent or predatory behavior that reasonably leads a DVR counselor to believe you may be a threat to yourself or others, you must participate in assessment services necessary to determine the level of risk.
(3) If a DVR counselor determines, based on an assessment conducted by a qualified professional, that your employment may pose a threat to the safety of you or others because you meet the conditions outlined in WAC 388-891A-0110, an appropriately qualified professional must evaluate the employment outcome and employment setting you choose for risk.
(4) If you decline to authorize the release of information to DVR or participate in VR services necessary to collect pertinent information and your refusal prevents the continued development of an appropriate IPE, the DVR counselor may close your case service record.
