Missouri Vocational Rehabilitation, part of the state’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, has contracted with the MU Institute of Public Policy to conduct a statewide needs assessment. The state’s Vocational Rehabilitation program is required by federal regulation to conduct a comprehensive statewide needs assessment every three years. To meet this requirement, the MU Institute of Public Policy will collect and analyze qualitative data using surveys, focus groups and key informant interviews that provide additional context and perspective to the comprehensive statewide needs assessment.
