The DARS Division for Rehabilitation Services is designated as the state’s principal authority on the vocational rehabilitation of Texans with disabilities, including those with all types of hearing loss. The Division’s main purpose is to assist people with disabilities to participate in their communities by achieving employment of choice, living as independently as possible and accessing high quality services. We provide a broad array of services through the VR program.<\/p>\n
What is VR?<\/p>\n
The Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program – also known as DARS in Texas, a state-federal partnership since 1929, helps people with disabilities prepare for, find and keep jobs. Work related services are individualized and may include counseling, training, medical treatment, assistive devices, job placement assistance, and other services. Eligibility criteria for this program include: the presence of a physical or mental disability that results in a substantial impediment to employment, whether the individual is employable after receiving services, and whether services are required to achieve employment outcomes. Our Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program helps Texans with disabilities prepare for, find and keep employment. This program also helps students with disabilities plan the jump from school to work. <\/p>\n
