Division of Vocational Rehabilitation's Upcoming Public Hearings

04/14/2014 (All day) - 04/22/2014 (All day)

Colorado Division of Vocational Rehabilitation will be holding public hearings throughout the month of April for the public to provide comment on our state plan and a few possible policy changes.

In an effort to serve you better, the State Rehabilitation Council and the Colorado Division of Vocational Rehabilitation invite you to take part in public meetings on the Division’s FFY 2015 State Plan and potential policy changes.  The focus of these hearings will be to gain your insights about the challenges, barriers and needs of persons with disabilities.  The information we receive will be used to develop goals and objectives to help DVR improve services and relationships to help people with disabilities succeed at work and live independently. 

This is a great time for you to share your thoughts with us about the eight topics listed on this flyer so that we may better serve Coloradoans with disabilities.  These meetings will also provide you an opportunity to learn more about the programs and services offered by the Colorado Division of Vocational Rehabilitation.

We would like to extend a cordial invitation for you to share your thoughts.  You may speak at any of the meetings or you may bring written comments.  If you are unable to attend, you may send written comments to:  Elaine De Smedt, State Planner/Program Evaluator, 1575 Sherman St, 4^th Floor, Denver, CO  80203 or elaine.desmedt@state.co.us before April 30^th, 2014 or you may participate by phone @1-877-820-7831, passcode 190712#.

We hope that you will take a few minute to join us as we look forward to the chance to meet you and hear from you!
