Vocational Rehab Services

SERVICES FOR ADULTS

TWS-VRS provides services to help bridge the gap between you and meaningful employment.

Some examples of services are training, counseling, medical services, artificial arms and legs, hearing aids, transportation, sign language interpreters, Braille instructions, orientation and mobility instruction for individuals who have visual impairments, on-the-job supports, and help to find a job.


You probably won’t need all of these services, and there may be other services that you do need that are not on the list.

Your counselor will provide you with information about available options and alternatives in selecting the services you need for successful employment.
