Rehabilitation Services
Welcome to the Department of Rehabilitation Services
Rehabilitation services professionals assists persons with physical, sensory, developmental,
cognitive, mental, and addiction-based disabilities in achieving personal, career,
and independent living goals. Rehabilitation services professionals are knowledgeable
and perform effectively and ethically as multidisciplinary team members in planning,
coordinating, and advocating for consumer services. They demonstrate empathy as they assist persons
with disabilities in navigating through the complexities of the rehabilitation process.
Rehabilitation services professionals work in varied settings in which they actively
promote empowerment, inclusion, and life satisfaction for consumers. Often rehabilitation
services professionals serve as case managers, service coordinators, or job development/placement
specialists who work closely with representatives from education, business, and industry
who can provide necessary training, work adjustment, and job opportunities for persons
with disabilities.
