What is a vocational rehabilitation (VR) program?

A vocational rehabilitation (VR) program helps persons with mental and/or physical disabilities to live independently and to become ready for work. These VR programs are state run and utilize federal funds to support persons with disabilities. Many VR programs help pay for schooling, job counseling/training, assistive technology, vehicle modifications and many other valuable vocational services.
