Clarification of DVR/CDE Cooperative Agreement Regarding Assistive TechnologyCooperative Agreement • May 21st, 2024
In January of 1995, the Colorado Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) and the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) developed a Cooperative Agreement, based on the mutual commitment of both agencies to the provision of coordinated transition services, and the ultimate goal of gainful employment. The agreement defines the responsibilities of DVR and Education, provides for efficient and effective utilization of agencies' resources, minimizes duplication, and delineates a basis for continuous effective working relationships between DVR and Local Education Agencies (LEA). The agreement is not binding for LEAs, but is intended as a guide to assist LEAs as they work with DVR.
