Voc rehab paid for my computer programming training including housing, transportation and attendant care for nearly one year while I lived in Atlanta. They also paid for the accessibility modifications on both of my vans and bought my first computer. I initially had a horrible counselor and got nowhere for a year, but eventually got my case transferred to arguably the best counselor in the state and my whole world seemed to open up. I live in Georgia and am certain I would not have the career and job I have had for 16 years without voc rehab. There were many challenges and obstacles, but if you are willing to work as hard as you expect your counselor to work, your odds of success will increase. Also, the saying "the dog that barks the loudest gets the most food" definitely applies with voc rehab. Steve

They sent me to college, paid for modifications on two vans, and bought two power chairs. They made it possible for me to become a teacher and have always been extremely helpful. I could not have done any of it without their help.
