Each state has a Vocational Rehabilitation agency dedicated to assisting individuals with disabilities to become employed. This may include providing assistance to students while in college. Funding and services can vary greatly. The process always begins with an assessment to qualify for Vocational Rehabilitation services which may also be helpful in acquiring college disability services.

 

	Visit the website of your state Vocational Rehabilitation department. Use Post-ITT Resources, State Offices of Vocational Rehabilitation. Review the information on vocational rehabilitation (VR) and record your answers to the following questions on the Activity 45 Worksheet found on the Post-ITT Website.* What services are offered by VR? Who is eligible to receive services? How would you apply for these services? Which VR services might be helpful to you? How can these services help you in your pursuit of a college education?
	Discuss the information you recorded with your teacher, a family member, or a guidance counselor. Decide whether to apply for Vocational Rehabilitation services.
	Apply for services if appropriate.
