The goals of the nation include the goal of providing people with disabilities with the tools necessary to achieve employment and full integration in society.
Work is valuable for the individual and for the community.
A physical or mental impairment can limit a person's life activities, including the ability to train for, get or keep a job. Arkansas Rehabilitation Services provides information and individualized support services that can remove or limit these obstacles that may prevent a person from working. The ARS Field Program operates statewide out of 20 offices located in key cities. Persons with physical, mental, cognitive or sensory disabilities who wish to apply for services must first contact a rehabilitation counselor. Counselors are assigned to each of the state's 75 counties.
