On-Going Support Services [Education] Law and Legal Definition
According to 34 CFR 363.6 (3) [Title 34 – Education; Subtitle B -- Regulations of the Offices of the Department of Education; Chapter III -- Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, Department of Education; Part 363 -- The State Supported Employment Services Program; Subpart A – General], the term on-going support services means “services that are --
(i) Needed to support and maintain an individual with the most severe disabilities in supported employment;
(ii) Based on a determination by the designated State unit of the individual's needs as specified in an individualized written rehabilitation program; and
(iii) Furnished by the designated State unit from the time of job placement until transition to extended services, except as provided in § 363.4(c)(3) and, following transition, by one or more extended services providers throughout the individual's term of employment in a particular job placement or multiple placements if those placements are being provided under a program of transitional employment. On-going support services must include, at a minimum, twice-monthly monitoring at the work site of each individual in supported employment to assess employment stability, unless under special circumstances, especially at the request of the individual, the individualized written rehabilitation program provides for off-site monitoring, and, based upon that assessment, the coordination or provision of specific services at or away from the work site, that are needed to maintain employment stability. If off-site monitoring is determined to be appropriate, it must, at a minimum, consist of two meetings with the individual and one contact with the employer each month. On-going support services consist of --
(A) Any particularized assessment needed to supplement the comprehensive assessment of rehabilitation needs;
(B) The provision of skilled job trainers who accompany the individual for intensive job skill training at the work site;
(C) Job development and placement;
(D) Social skills training;
(E) Regular observation or supervision of the individual;
(F) Follow-up services such as regular contact with the employers, the individuals, the parents, family members, guardians, advocates or authorized representatives of the individuals, and other suitable professional and informed advisors, in order to reinforce and stabilize the job placement;
(G) Facilitation of natural supports at the worksite;
(H) Any other service identified in the scope of rehabilitation services described in 34 CFR part 361; and
