Vocational Rehabilitation Program
Students with disabilities in Georgia are encouraged to contact the Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency
to see if they qualify for services. Applicants are assessed individually, so the resources available to students
differs substantially based on the disability and the student’s needs. Below is some information regarding the
Vocational Rehabilitation Program in Georgia. A list of the units in the counties that most Gordon State
Students come from is provided. If you are a student and do not see the county where your permanent home
is located, it may be found on the website using the following link https://gvra.georgia.gov/about-us
The Basics
Who is eligible for Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) services?
Any citizen of Georgia who has a physical or mental disability that impacts his/her ability to go
to work, and who can benefit from VR services to go to work.
How does the process work?
The individual meets with a VR Counselor to complete an application for services.
The counselor and the individual discuss how the disability affects his/her ability to work, and
if he/she will benefit from VR services, and discuss the means to secure employment.
If the individual qualifies for VR services, choices will be discussed in order to reach the
employment goal.
Assessments are used to determine the services necessary to reach the employment goal.
A Work Plan is created, outlining responsibilities and services needed to reach the work goal.
Financial eligibility requirements need to be met to receive some purchased services.
What services are available?
The services available are based on what is needed to go to work. They may include, but are not
limited to:
Vocational assessment
Vocational counseling and guidance
Physical and mental restoration services
Vocational training
School-to-work transition
Rehabilitation technology
Supported employment
Job search and job placement
Referral to other agencies for needed
services
