Dear Vocational Rehabilitation and Special Education Partners:
June 2, 2020, marked the 100th anniversary (VR100) of the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR)
program, and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) kicked it off
with a showcase of how the VR program has helped change the lives of students and adults with
disabilities.
To continue the VR100 celebration, OSERS is highlighting partnerships where coordination and collaboration are crucial for individuals with disabilities, particularly student and youth with disabilities, to achieve high quality employment outcomes.
During the month of August, we have focused on the partnerships between State VR agencies,
local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools, particularly on the provision of quality pre-employment transition and transition services for students with disabilities. Delivery of these
services, through the collaboration of State VR agencies, LEAs and schools, provides students
with disabilities access to the opportunities needed for postsecondary education, training, and/or
employment success.
