Visit Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) and Special Education Website
Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) and Special Education share responsibility in preparing youth with disabilities for the transition from school to post-high school employment, education, specialized training and independence. The local school district is primarily responsible for providing transition-related services while a student is still in school. However, for students with disabilities who are, or may be, eligible to receive vocational rehabilitation services, communication and collaboration with VR may help to ensure a smoother transition. VR’s role is primarily one of planning and preparing for when a student graduates or exits the school system.
