The Division for Rehabilitation ServicesSchool Program

"What help is available after high school?" "What help is there to get a job and become independent?" There are many questions parents/students may have about adult services available after high school.

 

Getting a job and living independently can be very challenging for a person who has a disability. Gaining skills needed for a career, learning how to prepare for a job interview or getting the accommodations needed to stay employed are just a few of the ways this program helps people with disabilities increase productivity and independence.

 

The DRS Vocational Rehabilitation School Transition Program of DARS helps students with physical or mental disabilities prepare for the "World of Work", make a smooth transition from school to employment, and become more independent.
