Assessment of Vocational Rehabilitation Service Needs

 

Every three years, the OOD Division of Employer and Innovation Services assesses the Vocational Rehabilitation service needs of individuals related to five primary disability categories: Blindness and Low Vision, Deaf and Hard of Hearing and Communicative, Physical Disabilities, Psychosocial Disabilities, and Cognitive Disabilities.

 

The 2024 Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment is now available on the OOD website. It features web-based interactive dashboards that readers can use to understand OOD’s ability to serve prospective job seekers with disabilities and how balanced OOD was in serving individuals across all disability categories. Additional dashboards are included in the focus areas of students with disabilities and provider capacity.
