How to Find Services in Your Area

If you need to find vocational services for people with disabilities in your local area:


Try an Internet or phone book search for Vocational Rehabilitation Services in your state. Each state has a VR division with local satellite offices, which can assist you to access services that meet your needs - Similarly, search for Developmental Disabilities as each state has a specialized division for this population. Many states also have offices for people who are Blind or Visually Impaired, and Deaf or Hard of Hearing.

You can identify local agencies that provide VR services through the above contacts or an extended search of VR services in your state or local area. Most states have trade associations that can provide information. Try searching for your state's Association of Rehabilitation Facilities (ARF), American Congress of Community Supports and Employment Services (ACCSES) or Association for Persons in Supported Employment (APSE).

Transition Services for students that have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) can be discussed with his/her Child Study Team. The above entities can be excellent resources to learn about post-secondary vocational services.

In every situation it is advisable to visit a potential service provider. Meet their staff and get a "feel" for the organization. Are you comfortable there? Do they seem to have services that are a good match for your needs? Are the organization's services accredited? Many VR organizations chose to undergo a rigorous accreditation process through CARF The Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission.
