VocRehab Vermont - Division of Vocational Rehabilitation

About Us

Work is central to adult life. Work defines us, giving us purpose, independence, and community.

Disability affects all of us eventually - whether we're born with it; experience disability through illness, accident, or aging; or have a loved one or colleague with a disabling condition.

When disability gets in the way of productive work, that's when VocRehab Vermont steps in. We provide a wide range of services and supports to help you get to work, and to help your employer keep you there.

Values and Mission

VocRehab Vermont believes in putting the customer in the driver's seat. And that includes both our customers: people with disabilities and employers.

You know what's best for you or your company. But you can't possibly know everything about a wide range of disabilities and the benefit programs, incentives, assistive technology, and services available to help people with disabilities succeed in the workplace. That's why we exist. It's our job to help guide you along the way.

And what guides us?
