About The Alabama Board of Rehabilitation Services and the State Rehabilitation Council works together to strengthen the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of vocational rehabilitation services for all Alabamians with disabilities. The SRC mission is to provide support and assistance to the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services through program planning, policy development, and delivery of services, thus preparing Alabama’s citizens with disabilities for competitive employment. SRC membership consists of persons with disabilities, parents and guardians of persons with disabilities, advocates, service providers, and representatives of the business, industry and labor community. Members are appointed by the governor, and each have a personal interest in ensuring that Alabama’s citizens with disabilities receive the services and supports they need to become productive and self-sufficient through gainful employment. Membership is geographically and culturally diverse to assure a broad view into decisions that impact vocational rehabilitation services.
