The Virginia Verification Of Observation Form is a form used by the Virginia Department of Social Services to document an observation of an individual receiving services from the Department. It is used to collect information on the individual's overall functioning, environment, and interactions with others. There are three types of Virginia Verification Of Observation Forms: the Initial Observation Form, the Follow-Up Observation Form, and the Follow-Up Observation Form with Progress Notes. The Initial Observation Form collects data on the individual's mental status, behavior, and physical functioning. The Follow-Up Observation Form is used to monitor the individual's progress over time. The Follow-Up Observation Form with Progress Notes collects additional information on the individual's progress and any interventions implemented. The information collected on these forms is used to evaluate the individual's progress and to develop effective treatment plans.
