The Role of the Division
of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR)
in School toWork (STW) Transition Services
AUDIO
DVR assists secondary education (high school)
students with disabilities to transition from school
to a successful employment outcome and inclusion in
the adult community as a productive citizen. The Vocational
Rehabilitation (VR) Counselor and VR Technician work
closely with staff at local high schools to provide
assistance with transition planning, developing appropriate
VR referrals, and educating school staff, parents,
students and others about the VR program.
The VR Counselor helps
the VR eligible student transition from school into
postsecondary education, training, or directly into
employment after exiting the school system. The
goal is to provide a seamless transition from school
to adult life, with an Individual Plan for Employment
(IPE) in place prior to graduation or exit from school.
The IPE is to be coordinated with the student’s Transition
Individual Educational Plan (TIEP or IEP), which is
developed by the school system’s transition team. The
transition team may include, but is not limited to
the following members: the student, parent or guardian,
ESE teacher, general education and/or vocational education
teacher, related school services personnel, invited
agency representatives, and others who may be instrumental
in the student’s successful transition from high school
to adult life.
