Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) provides services to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing or to those who have
disabilities and who need help to qualify for or to find a job. VR may assist with vocational training or college.
Services include financial assistance, employment planning, counseling, transportation, and job placement
assistance. A VR counselor, who determines eligibility for services, is assigned to each individual
requesting assistance. States have various names for VR, and services vary depending on need and the
state in which a student lives.
