VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION = Helping people with disabilities get and keep jobs
-------------------------
On September 18, 2003 we were notified that our grant proposal for the next five years had been APPROVED. We are now accepting new clients. If you are a tribal member with a disability living on or near the Spirit Lake Reservation and need assistance to meet your employment goals, please call us at (701) 766- 4666. Ask for Lori or Germaine.
THE TYPES OF SERVICES WE PROVIDE
Services depend on the individual client's needs. All of our clients receive vocational rehabilitation advice, when the outreach worker discusses with a client his or her individual goals for employment and the steps to take to reach those. We provide services to meet the individual client need. For one person, that may be help filling out job applications. For another, it could be paying to get new glasses so that he can read the computer to do data entry. For some other client, we may pay for new tires on a car needed to get to a job. Before you can receive any services from vocational rehabilitation, however, you must be determined eligible. An individual is eligible if he or she has a physical, learning or mental disability and is able to benefit from vocational rehabilitation services. Stop by or call us and we will be happy to help with the process of determining eligibility.
