Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services

Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Nevada helps people with disabilities prepare for and find work. They can help you get the training or other services that you need to return to work, change the type of work you do, keep working, or get a job for the first time.

These services are based on your strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities, interests, and choices. A VR Nevada counselor works with you to create an Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) to help you reach your work goals.

To be eligible for services from VR Nevada, you must have a physical or mental disability that makes it difficult for you to find and keep a job. If you qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) based on your disability, you probably qualify for VR Nevada.

VR Nevada can be your service provider for the Ticket to Work program, or you may be eligible for VR Nevada services without being in the Ticket program.

To learn more about VR Nevada services, you can attend an orientation session (in person or online). You can apply for VR Nevada services online. If you have questions, call 1-775-823-8100 in northern Nevada or 1-702-486-5230 in southern Nevada.

Note: If you are blind or visually impaired, you can get these vocational rehabilitation services through VR Nevada's Bureau of Services to the Blind and Visually Impaired. Nevada residents who are deaf or hard of hearing can apply for free interpreting services through ASL Anywhere.
