- Summary:
-
Designed to assist disabled students and professionals working with them to become aware of the Vocational Rehabilitation Services, the fact sheet details how to access and utilize the education-related services of this federal-state funded program. Following a description of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR), the fact sheet provides information on: (1) where to find VR offices; (2) how to contact local VR offices; (3) what happens once an individual visits a VR office; (4) how eligibility is determined; (5) who pays for services; (6) the importance of an Individualized Written Rehabilitation Plan (IWRP); (7) steps to take if dissatisfied with a VR counselor or decision; and (8) how long VR services will be provided. Because the client in this program is in charge of his/her rehabilitation program and the counselor/agency act in an assistant capacity, emphasis is placed on the responsibility of the client/student to complete paperwork, meet deadlines, and keep counselors informed of progress.
