The article describes the quantitative measurement in the initial screening of rehabilitation potential. The disability provisions of the Social Security Act provide that applicants for these benefits be afforded the opportunity of referral for vocational rehabilitation. As a result, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of applicants brought to the attention of state rehabilitation agencies. This mass of referrals, added to the duties of an already overburdened counseling staff, has made it impractical to furnish a counselor's personal evaluation of an individual's rehabilitation possibilities. To cope with this situation, a procedure was established to eliminate or screen out applicants whose potential was insufficient to warrant further rehabilitation consideration. The remaining group was screened in and referred. Case data accompanied these referrals for the rehabilitation counselor's evaluation. On the basis of this information, he either closed the case with no further action or pursued it for further study, including personal contact. These procedures have markedly reduced the number of individuals referred to state rehabilitation agencies. |
