Specialist, IRIS Consulting

Key Highlights

• Required to meet in person with the IRIS participant a minimum of four times per year, with one required annual visit in the home of the participant. Because IRIS is a self-directed program, it is important for ICs to be available upon the request of the participant.
• Responsible for providing program orientation to new participants. During this time, participants will learn their rights and responsibilities as someone enrolled in the IRIS program, including verifying legal documents, completing employee paperwork and the responsible use of public dollars.
• Explore a broad view of the participant’s life, including goals, important relationships, connections with the local community, interest in employment, awareness of the Self-Directed Personal Care option, and back-up support plans.
• Assist participants in identifying personal outcomes and ensure those outcomes are being met on an ongoing basis, all while staying within the participant’s IRIS budget and within the requirements of the IRIS program determined by the Department of Health Services (DHS).
• Responsible for documenting all orientation and planning activities within the IRIS data system (WISITs) within 48 business hours of the visit with the participant.
