Vocational Training
Helping individuals with physical disabilities attain their potential in the area
of work. This continuum offers a unique collaboration between an occupational therapist
and a vocational evaluator who design and coordinate the services. The following is
a brief description of each available service.
An interdisciplinary team assists children and adults with physical disabilities to
lead more independent lives through the use of assistive technology. A full
range of evaluation and intervention services are offered in augmentative and
alternative communication, computer access and use, electronic aids for
daily living, and seating and wheelchair mobility.

with disabilities, in developing the confidence and skills they need to
move forward in their lives and achieve their life goals. Programs

Violence Prevention Outreach and Substance Abuse Recovery.
