Follow-along comes after the period of stabilization, and the need for this service is determined by the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) Counselor, the Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired (DBVI) Counselor or another referral source. The Employment Specialist will continue to check with the consumer, talk with the employer, and remain involved in the consumer’s life at work with at least one on-site visit per month and/or telephonic follow-up as needed. The follow-along period can continue for as long as the consumer works the same job to help maintain the skills and behaviors needed to keep the job.
