Vocational Rehabilitation Services
Vocational rehabilitation is a program that assists individuals with disabilities or serious health conditions in preparing for, obtaining, maintaining, or returning to suitable employment. Services, managed by state and federal programs, can include vocational counseling, skill assessments, training, assistive technology, and job placement to help people achieve economic independence and overcome barriers to work.
