Limited Vocational Evaluation is the participant’s strengths, identifies specific areas of need, and assesses specific skills and abilities for a defined training program or vocational objective. The Limited Vocational Evaluation is time-limited and is used when the comprehensive vocational evaluation and vocational profile are not indicated. 

Comprehensive Vocational Evaluation provides an individualized, systematic process in which an individual, in partnership with the evaluator, learns to identify viable vocational options and to develop employment goals and objectives. 

A Comprehensive Vocational Profile is used to match an individual to a job 

That is consistent with their interests, preferences, and support needs. The focus is 

on the importance of the applicant’s demonstrated skills, experiences, and home, 

family friends, neighborhood, informal supports, preferences, connections, and 

need for accommodations.
