NJ Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services (DVRS)
DVRS is a state agency that helps persons with disabilities prepare for, obtain and keep their jobs. DVRS staff are rehabilitation counselors who are trained to help people with disabilities obtain employment. Although students aged 14 with a transition plan may receive help from DVRS, a student doesn't actually start working with a counselor until it is within two years of anticipated graduation. The rehabilitation counselor will meet with the student to evaluate eligibility for DVRS services. To be eligible, an individual must have a disability that makes it hard to get and keep a job, and must require rehabilitation services in order to work.
