The Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program is a joint state- and federal-funded program administered by the Agency's Vocational Rehabilitation Division (VRD) to assess, plan, develop, and provide vocational rehabilitation services for eligible individuals with disabilities, consistent with their unique strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and informed choice so that these individuals can prepare for and engage in competitive integrated employment and achieve economic self-sufficiency. The Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program seeks to empower individuals with disabilities to maximize employment, economic self-sufficiency, independence, and inclusion in and integration into society. In accordance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, VRD is the single designated state unit for the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program.
