Abstract: The Vocational
Rehabilitation (VR) Program provides a
wide range of services to help
individuals with disabilities to prepare
for and engage in gainful employment.
Eligible individuals are those who have
a physical or mental impairment that
results in a substantial impediment to
employment, who can benefit from VR
services for employment, and who
require VR services. If a State is unable
to serve all eligible individuals, priority
must be given to serving individuals
with the most significant disabilities.
The program is funded through formulabased grants awarded by the
Rehabilitation Services Administration
(RSA) to State VR agencies receive
funding from the basic Title I formula
grant program.
The Rehabilitation Act Title I formula
grant program provides funds to
Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies
to help individuals with disabilities
prepare for and engage in gainful
employment consistent with their
strengths, abilities, interests, and
informed choice through such supports
as counseling, medical, and
psychological services, job training, and
other individualized services.
RSA proposes to conduct a national
survey of all 80 state VR agencies. RSA
seeks to evaluate how State VR agencies
deliver services for individuals with
disabilities, how and to what extent
state VR agencies work with partner
agencies or programs to deliver services,
and to review program outcomes and
their associated costs, including
identifying cost effective practices for
serving specific target populations.
RSA will address the following
objectives: determine the methods and
practices used by State VR agencies in
