Young Adults in Transition: Vocational Rehabilitation Services is a guide for advocates working with students, families and guardians to facilitate the involvement of state Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies in the process of special education transition. The Guide is composed of a glossary of terms and six related parts that summarize vocational rehabilitation services, their intersection with special education transition, the rights and responsibilities of stakeholders, and advocacy tips.
This Toolkit is also available on the Center for Parent Information & Resources website. It was adapted from the National Disability Rights Network’s (NRDN): Work, Assistive Technology and State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies: The Vocational Rehabilitation Agency’s Obligation to Fund AT to Support Employment Preparation, by Ronald M. Hager, Esq.
