Client Assistance Program (CAP) helps client obtain IPE & $9500 reimbursement from LRS

CAP successfully advocated for the reimbursement of school related expenses by Louisiana Rehabilitation Services (LRS) to a client who is a college student. CAP also advocated for the development of an appropriate Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) reflecting the goal of college training. As a result of CAP’s involvement, client was reimbursed approximately $9,500.00 by LRS and a new IPE was developed. Client’s expenses reimbursed included costs for computer hardware, software, living expenses incurred during the onset of Covid-19 restrictions, and meals. LRS also agreed  to reimburse client for the cost of the MCAT exam.
