If an individual has a medically or psychologically determined disability, she would qualify for vocational rehabilitation services from her state office.
Vocational rehabilitation services provided range from medical services to sheltered employment, employability skills training, job placement assistance, on-the-job training, and vocational or academic training, etc. Once an individual has completed the application process (a lengthy one unfortunately) and has qualified for services, a vocational rehabilitation counselor will help write a rehabilitation plan. The particular services provided depend on individual needs and help the client achieve an optimal level of functioning.
Usually this program is the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) in many states and is usually within the office of the Department of Education. The program is available to all legal residents of the United States. To find the office in your community, contact your local Department of Education or the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation.
