Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency Vocational Rehabilitation Program The Basics
Who is eligible for Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) services?
Any citizen of Georgia who has a physical or mental disability that impacts his/her ability to go to work, and who can benefit from VR services to go to work.
How does the process work? The individual meets with a VR Counselor to complete an application for services. The counselor and the individual discuss how the disability affects his/her ability to
work, and if he/she will benefit from VR services, and discuss the means to secure employment. If the individual qualifies for VR services, choices will be discussed in order to reach the employment goal.
Assessments are used to determine the services necessary to reach the employment goal.
A Work Plan is created, outlining responsibilities and services needed to reach the work goal.
Financial eligibility requirements need to be met to receive some purchased services.
What services are available?
The services available are based on what is needed to go to work. They may include, but
are not limited to:
Vocational assessment
Rehabilitation technology
Vocational counseling and guidance Supported employment
Physical and mental restoration
Job search and job placement
services
Referral to other agencies for needed
Vocational training
services
School-to-work transition
Once the necessary vocational rehabilitation services are received and employment is achieved, a 90-day follow-up is provided to the individual and the employer to ensure that there are no problems and the job is a good fit.
After the 90-day follow-up period the case is closed.
Remember that Vocational Rehabilitation does not provide permanent support but is available as needed for people with disabilities to seek, secure, and sustain employment. You can find us at our web site: www.vocrehabga.org
