Navigating Vocational Rehabilitation Disability Services for Teens & Adults – Join the Client Assistance Program staff for an interactive presentation to learn about navigating vocational rehabilitation (VR) services.
* The workshop will cover the purpose of the VR program and the role of each party (consumer and VR agency staff) in implementing services to reach an employment goal. We will also discuss how parents support the process, the unwritten expectations of the consumer and the VR agency, how to recognize when something might be going wrong, and how to get back on track.
* Come ready to interact and bring any questions you have.
Learning Objectives:
1. Gain a basic understanding of VR and Pre-Employment Transition Services
2. Learn about how VR services work from both the consumer and agency perspectives.
3. Learn how to spot when services might be off track.
4. Learn how the Client Assistance Program assists youth with disabilities and their families in the VR process.
