Title of Program List of Services Contact Person for Services Eligibility Procedures Fees/Other Requirements
Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR)
  • Vocational guidance and counseling
  • Finding and keeping a job
  • Assistive technology
  • Training
  • All services are individualized and geared to the specific needs of the student.
 State List of DVR Contacts By School Eligibility for VR services will be determined by VR staff and is based on establishing that the individual:
  1. Has a physical or mental impairment,
  2. As a result of the impairment has a substantial impediment to employment,
  3. Can benefit in terms of an employment outcome, and
  4. Requires vocational rehabilitation services to prepare for, enter, engage in, or retain gainful employment.
 DVR would like to work with all individuals who have a disability. However, we do not have enough staff or funds to do so.

Therefore, DVR uses a process (Order of Selection) that allows persons with more severe functional limitations to be served before those with less severe limitations. DVR evaluates each eligible applicant to determine the severity of his or her functional limitations. This Order of Selection may indefinitely delay services to some individuals. The Division will notify all eligible persons for whom services will be delayed.

DVR will look at how the following areas affect your ability to work:
  1. Getting from one place to another (Mobility)
  2. Talking and listening to others, reading and/or understanding printed materials (Communication)
  3. Taking care of yourself (Self-Care)
  4. Making plans or carrying out your plans (Self-Direction)
  5. Getting along with other people (Interpersonal Skills)
  6. Having the skills to work (Work Skills)
  7. Needing changes at work to do a job (Work Tolerance)
