The goal of the Vocational Rehabilitation Program is employment. Vocational rehabilitation counselors work with business and community agencies to help them prepare their worksites to accommodate employees who have physical or mental disabilities. Rehabilitation counselors in vocational rehabilitation offices across the state are available to assist people with disabilities with individualized plans to meet their unique needs.
Counselors can provide vocational evaluations, job training, guidance and counseling.
They help disabled people make the transition from rehabilitation to employment and educate them about the kinds of technology available that could increase independence.
