State Rehabilitation CouncilThe State Rehabilitation Council (SRC) is an advisory body authorized under Section 105 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. The nature and scope of the Council's deliberations and recommendations include CBVH policies, procedures, and operations as they may affect consumers or consumer applicants of agency services statewide. Additionally, the SRC assists in the development of Federally required State plans and annual updates to those plans. Much of the Council's business is conducted in committees focusing on the CBVH priority issues of employment, children and transition services, and consumer needs assessment. The Council meets once each calendar quarter. The Council is comprised of members representing blind consumers, deaf-blind consumers, parents, educators, business, industry and labor, consumer advocacy groups, the New York State Workforce Investment Board and the New York State Independent Living Council. Ex Officio members represent The New York State Office of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID), the New York State Commission on Quality of Care and Advocacy for People with Disabilities (CQCAPD), the New York State Office for the Aging (OFA), and various representatives from CBVH who provide information and assistance as requested by the Council. Meetings are open to the public and always include a public comment segment on the meeting agenda for individuals to provide input or bring issues of concern to the Council.
