Vocational Rehabilitation Services

Even in the face of catastrophic injuries, many patients can recover and be rehabilitated to the point where they can re-enter the work force. Vocational rehabilitation is rehabilitation that is designed to help people with injuries or disabilities return to work (or, in some cases, start work). In Pennsylvania, the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation provides and coordinates services that prepare disabled individuals to re-enter the job market. Not all services provided by OVR are free.
