State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies

State-based rehabilitation agencies work with people who have disabilities to help them get jobs, develop or promote in their current jobs, live on their own, and enjoy a life equal to others. These agencies will help you build a plan to improve your job and personal life. To help you reach your goals will require some work from you too.

Here is the information for every US state and territory's vocational rehabilitation agency:
