The foundation of the vocational rehabilitation process is vocational counseling and guidance provided by a DRS vocational rehabilitation counselor. Initial discussions will include a medical history relating to a student's disability and how the student's disability may affect his or her ability to work. The student's educational history and Individualized Education Program (IEP), if applicable, will be discussed, along with any job history. Vocational testing or assessments may be utilized to identify a student's interests and aptitudes. Ultimately, DRS has many tools and resources to help a student with a disability recognize his or her unique vocational strengths and needs as he or she transitions from high school to further training, education or employment.
