Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) The purpose of this chapter is to define the criteria for operation of a program which is eligible to vend specific services to the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services and to ensure the provision of quality services to persons with disabilities. The basic rationale for the development of these standards of operations consists of the following:

1. With the increased growth and diversification of organizations in the vocational rehabilitation field, there is a need to establish standards of operations for organizations offering rehabilitation services.

2. Established, recognized standards give evidence of a professional discipline, help organizations provide the consumer with quality services, and establish accountability of operations.

3. Standards for rehabilitation organizations are necessitated by the enactment of State and Federal legislation to help establish and improve rehabilitation programs. These standards will be utilized as a minimum basis for establishing the approval of assistance grants under the Federal Rehabilitation Act and other legislation, and for the use of such rehabilitation services by the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services, and by the New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired. They shall also be applicable to the purchase of services and the payment of fees to the rehabilitation program by the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services and the New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

(b) The standards of performance and service for vocational rehabilitation organizations, unless specified otherwise, are applicable to community rehabilitation programs such as sheltered workshops, psychiatric rehabilitation centers, supported employment providers, and similar types of organizations which provide rehabilitation services.
