Vocational rehabilitation

The Division of Rehabilitation Services is West Virginia's primary vocational rehabilitation resource for people with disabilities who want to work. DRS helps many West Virginians prepare for careers consistent with their interests, needs and abilities. DRS helps many more to maintain their current employment if a disability is making it difficult to continue working.

Vocational rehabilitation provides direct, personalized services. During the vocational rehabilitation process, a counselor will work with you one-on-one to plan an individualized program that leads to paid employment.
