 Adults - District Offices
VESID starts with the presumption that all
persons with disabilities can benefit from vocational rehabilitation services and should
have opportunities to work in jobs integrated within their communities.
VESID Counselors guide individuals through
service programs they need to reach their employment goals.
At Our District Office:
Each year VESID assists hundreds of
businesses in hiring qualified, dependable employees.
Our handbook outlines eligibility
requirements, next steps and services provided.
Our offices are located in your
community. Each district office describes services specific to their office.
VESID works with students, families and
school districts to coordinate appropriate services for students with disabilities who are
leaving secondary education and entering adult vocational rehabilitation and related
services.
If you design, manufacture, or sell
equipment that may be useful by people with disabilities, or if you teach disabled people
how to use such equipment, please contact VESID.
- Independent living services (one unit without our lifelong
services network) can help people with disabilities learn to have more control over their
own lives and to live more independently in their communities.
- Expectations are described in our rights and
responsibilities brochure.
