Adult Career and Continuing Education Services (ACCES-VR)
Vocational Rehabilitation (ACCES-VR) is a service for students with physical, developmental, or emotional disabilities whose disability may make it difficult for them to work.  ACCES-VR also assists students with additional training or education. This service is available for students with disabilities with or without an IEP or 504.  Students typically apply to ACCES-VR during their junior year and, if eligible, they will meet with their ACCES-VR counselor at their high school. Students in the 9^th and 10^th grades as well as anyone with questions about services for Students with Disabilities are encouraged to contact ACCES-VR, Senior Counselor, Transition and Youth Services.
