SLED Opportunity · TEXAS · TEXAS WORKFORCE COMMISSION
AI Summary
Texas Workforce Commission seeks providers for Diabetes Self-Management Education Services to support individuals, especially VR customers, in managing diabetes through education, assessment, and adaptive techniques. The opportunity opens May 14, 2026, and closes November 10, 2026.
TWC’s mission is to promote and support a workforce system that creates value and offers employers, families, individuals and communities the opportunity to achieve and sustain economic prosperity. This Open Enrollment is for Diabetes Self-Management Education Services. Diabetes self-management education is the process of developing the customer's knowledge, skills, and abilities that are necessary to manage diabetes and improve his or her health outcomes. Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) customers might require education about diabetes to address the cause of the disease. Diabetes self-management education provides adaptive techniques and/or equipment to help the customer self-manage his or her diabetes. Assessment and teaching of blood sugar monitoring, medication delivery, and other self-care skills related to diabetes self-management require close, hands-on evaluation and training when working with individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Diabetes self-management education services are based on the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialist’s 7 Self-Care Behaviors™, which are: • healthy eating; • being active; • monitoring; • taking medications; • healthy coping; • problem solving; and • reducing risk. Diabetes self-management education services are for customers who: • are newly diagnosed; • need surgery or a medical procedure and are at risk of further complications because of poor diabetes management; • are unable to maintain employment because of their diabetes; • need additional training about diabetes management after losing their sight; • must self-manage diabetes for admittance to training programs and for full participation in training such as that offered by the Criss Cole Rehabilitation Center; • cannot benefit from community-based educational programs; and/or • have unique needs that cannot be met through medical providers paid through the Maximum Affordable Payment Schedule.
