Who They Serve
An individual may be eligible when:
They have a physical or mental impairment.
The impairment creates a substantial barrier to employment.
Vocational rehabilitation services are needed to prepare for, secure, retain, advance in, or regain competitive integrated employment.
The individual can benefit from vocational rehabilitation services in achieving an employment outcome.
Vocational rehabilitation can provide much more than job-placement assistance.
Depending on an individual’s needs and employment plan, services can address education, training, assistive technology, transportation, workplace accommodations, job coaching, and other disability-related barriers to employment.
