Reaching a 'Hire' Goal.
 VR employment services provide opportunities to persons who have mental or physical disabilities which prevent them from getting and keeping a job. For eligibility, services must be deemed likely to result in employment.
To establish eligibility and plan appropriate services, the rehabilitation process begins with an assessment of the strengths and limitations of the individual. An individualized plan of employment (IPE) is jointly developed by consumer and counselor. The program is then carefully monitored and adjustments made if necessary.
Services can include:
- Evaluation, counseling and testing
- Diagnostic services
- Physical and mental restoration
- Assistive technology
- Rehabilitation engineering
- College and vocational education
- Job placement
|
- Job coaching
- On-the-job training
- Supported employment
- Transportation
- Personal assistance
- Vehicle, home, job, worksite modifications
