Vocational Rehabilitation: RECOMMENDED READING LIST

The documents below can give you a lot of information about the basics of vocational rehabilitation. Irene Bear Runner describes how she worked with a young woman with mental retardation whose career goal was to become a nurse. Willie Davis talks about how he insures that everyone who comes to see him leaves better off. The Spirit Lake Vocational Rehabilitation newsletter, reprinted with permission of the Spirit Lake VR Project, provides such basic information as "Yes, you can get services even if you are enrolled on a reservation different from where you are living now, " and "No, if the only reason you lost your job is that you stayed out all night partying and didn't go into work, you do not qualify for our services."
