People in this field will tell you right up front that vocational rehabilitation is not about disabilities, it’s about possibilities.
The objective of the rehabilitation sciences is to facilitate the ability of people with disabilities to gain empowerment, employment, and full access to society.

People who have acquired one or more disabilities due to disease, injury or congenital causes were traditionally left with few choices. Today this is not the case.

Vocational rehabilitation empowers people to make informed choices, build viable careers, and live more independently in the community.
