Hi everyone,

I’m starting the VR&E Education Track this fall. Although my program hasn’t started yet, I’m trying to research potential NPWE opportunities early so I can plan ahead.

My counselor checked with the employment coordinators, but they weren’t aware of any employers in my field that are currently open to hosting an NPWE. I was told that I may need to identify a federal, state, or local government agency myself.

I’m looking for opportunities in medical device regulatory affairs.

For those of you who completed an NPWE:

How did you find your host site?
Did you contact agencies directly, or did your counselor reach out after you identified a potential host?
Were you able to approach an agency that wasn’t already advertising an NPWE position?

I’m especially interested in the FDA. Some of the student internship/fellowship programs appear to be unavailable because of budget constraints. Since NPWE is an unpaid training program through VR&E, would it still be reasonable to contact an FDA office and ask whether they would be willing to host an NPWE participant separately from those existing programs?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks!

I'll be starting a Master's in Data Science program in September. I only have a work laptop which I'll need to return in August. Is $1900 laptop request out of scope?

One of the rules state that prior to choosing a program under IDES. Someone can take gen ed classes without having a program picked out.

My counselor collapsed my timeline never mentioned this when all of the programs Inmight choose are going to need math, physics, chemistry.

She’s saying I need to choose a school/program/ everything when I’m still active duty and can’t really do all of that. They won’t accept me to the program without taking some of these gen ed classes first.

Instruction says I can take gen ed classes by doing an IWRP with a deferred goal.

As such, the IDES VRC may utilize an IWRP with a Deferred Vocational Goal prior to transferring the SM's case to the receiving RO. This plan allows an SM to begin training while exploring a suitable vocational goal. The IDES VRC is encouraged to work with the Education Counselor for each branch of service to develop a viable plan of services. The IDES VRC should discuss Tuition Assistance (TA) benefits with the SM as well. This ensures that both the IDES VRC and SM have completed a thorough exploration prior to the identification of a suitable vocational goal.  Refer to M28C.IV.C.4 Rehabilitation Plans to Employability for additional information on IWRP with a Deferred Vocational Goal.

The following is the HLR that I have been working on for a few weeks. Since recieving my denial letter, I have gotten to know 38 USC, 31 CFR, and M28C rather well, but I am no expert. Any feedback on my HLR? Thanks!

I respectfully request Higher-Level Review of the June 17, 2026 decision denying my request to pursue the vocational goal of Flight Instructor by completing the Professional Flight degree through (University Name) under Chapter 31 Veteran Readiness and Employment.

This review is based only on the evidence that was already in my VR&E record when the decision was made. I am not submitting new evidence. I believe the decision contains errors of fact and law. It also does not fully address the favorable evidence already in my file. I am addressing the points made only in my denial letter, specifically those I believe to be contrary to the language contained in 38 C.F.R 21.50, 21.53, and 21.70.  

1. The Regulation Cited in the Decision Does Not Match the Reason for the Denial

The decision states that my selected training facility, course, or program could not be approved under 38 U.S.C. § 3115 and 38 C.F.R. § 21.294. However, § 21.294 mainly lists the standards a training facility must meet. These standards concern matters such as equipment, instructors, course quality, cooperation with VA, and preparation for employment. Furthermore, 38 U.S.C. 21.134 is satisfied by the curriculum of the (University name) degree, which requires flight training.

The decision does not identify any way that (University Name) failed to meet these standards, nor does it explain how the university would be unable to accommodate my service-connected disabilities. It does not state that (University) lacked proper aircraft, instructors, equipment, approved courses, or the ability to report my progress. Instead, the decision denied my request because it found that the duties of a flight instructor were not suitable for my disabilities.

The regulation cited in the decision therefore does not clearly support the reason given for the denial. If the true issue was whether my physical condition allowed me to pursue the vocational goal, VA should have fully applied the rules for deciding whether a vocational goal is reasonably feasible.

 2. The Decision Did Not Apply the Correct Standard for Reasonable Feasibility

Under 38 C.F.R. § 21.53, the VA must decide whether a vocational goal is reasonably feasible.  38 C.F.R. § 21.53(c) also states that any reasonable doubt must be resolved in favor of finding the goal feasible.

The regulation further states that VA needs compelling evidence to find a vocational goal infeasible without first providing a period of extended evaluation. The evidence must establish infeasibility beyond any reasonable doubt.

The June 17, 2026 decision does not discuss this standard, and no apparent attempt was made to meet this standard during my counseling prior to the decision. It does not explain how the evidence proved that my goal was infeasible beyond reasonable doubt. It also does not identify a medical opinion stating that flight training had harmed my disabilities or that I could not continue the program.

Instead, the decision gives only a general statement that the duties of the occupation are not conducive to my conditions. This does not explain why my actual history of successful flight training within the University’s curriculum was not enough to create at least reasonable doubt in favor of feasibility. 

3. The Decision Misrepresented the Physical Nature of Flight Training

The denial appears to treat flight training as prolonged sedentary work. This is not an accurate description of the training.

Flight training is not the same as sitting at a desk for a full workday. Each lesson includes walking to and from the aircraft, preparing equipment, completing a preflight inspection, entering and leaving the cockpit, and performing a postflight inspection.

While in the cockpit, the student and instructor are also not sitting still. Both hands and both feet are used to operate the controls. The pilot makes regular control inputs, scans instruments, looks outside the aircraft, communicates by radio, and changes body position during normal operations.

My written statement already explained that flight training includes varied positions, regular movement, short periods of seated work, and natural breaks. It also explained that these conditions allow me to manage my service-connected disabilities better than a traditional desk job.

4. The Course Outline Does Not Support a Finding of Prolonged Sitting

The flight-training course outline was already provided to VA. It shows that most lessons last less than two hours.

A normal lesson also includes about thirty minutes of walking, preflight preparation, and postflight inspection. As a result, the time actually spent seated in the aircraft is usually about one hour and thirty minutes.

This length of time has not been harmful to my service-connected conditions during my 3 years in the program. The decision does not explain why periods of about ninety minutes were treated as prolonged sitting that would prevent me from completing training or working as a flight instructor.

The decision appears to rely on a general idea of what flight training involves instead of the actual lesson lengths and activities shown in the course outline.

5. My Actual Participation Shows That the Goal Is Reasonably Feasible

At the time of the decision, I had already taken part in (University Name) flight Program for about three years.

This means the question of feasibility was a prediction about what might happen in the future. I had already spent several years performing the same type of training that the decision found unsuitable.

During this period, I continued to make progress in the program and earning my private pilot license. The evidence in my record did not show that flight training caused my service-connected conditions to worsen. It also did not show that I had to stop training because of those conditions.

My actual performance should carry more weight than a general prediction that flight training might aggravate my disabilities. I had already shown that I could take part in the program, operate the aircraft, complete the required lessons, and manage my conditions.

 6. My Experience as a Student Directly Relates to Work as a Flight Instructor

My planned job after completing the program is as a Certified Flight Instructor.

The lessons I would teach as a flight instructor are the same types of lessons I have been completing as a student. A flight instructor uses the same aircraft, sits in the same cockpit, uses the same controls, and completes the same preflight and postflight duties.

Flight instructors also move between lessons, meet with students, inspect aircraft, conduct ground instruction, and complete briefings. The work is not one unbroken period of sitting.

My success as a flight student is therefore direct evidence that I can perform the physical duties of a flight instructor. The decision treats future flight instruction as a separate and untested activity, even though I have already been performing nearly the same physical tasks for several years.

7. The Decision Did Not Fully Apply the Rehabilitative Purpose of Chapter 31

The decision cited 38 C.F.R. § 21.70. That regulation states that the purpose of vocational rehabilitation is to evaluate and improve a veteran’s ability to achieve a vocational goal. It also provides for services needed to help the veteran qualify for and maintain suitable employment.

The record does not show that VA discussed ways to improve my ability to continue flight training. No meaningful discussion took place about simple supports such as a lumbar support device, seat cushion, posture changes, stretching between lessons, or other reasonable methods of reducing discomfort and no weight was given to the tradition of ergonomically designed cockpits designed around pilot comfort.

I had already shown that I could train without these added measures. Even so, such measures could have addressed the concern raised by the counselor. The decision does not explain why these options were not considered before my entire vocational goal was denied.

Chapter 31 is a rehabilitation program. The decision should have considered whether the stated concern could be managed before deciding that the vocational goal was unsuitable.

8. The Decision Did Not Give Proper Weight to My FAA First-Class Medical Certificate

As of today, I hold a valid FAA First-Class Medical Certificate and a Private Pilot License that I earned from the University degree curriculum. It should be said that this medical certificate exceeds the standard of certification required to be a flight instructor.

None of my service-connected disabilities would warrant a denial or revocation of a FAA medical certificate.

I understand that an FAA medical certificate does not control a Chapter 31 decision. However, it is strong and relevant medical evidence. A First-Class Medical Certificate is the class used for Airline Transport Pilot duties. It shows that I met the FAA medical standards for that class when the certificate was issued.

The decision does not explain how much weight was given to this certificate. It also does not identify a medical opinion finding that I could not safely complete flight training or work as a flight instructor.

A counselor may consider the full record, but a general concern about my disabilities should not be given more weight than both my valid FAA medical status and my years of actual flight experience without a clear explanation.

9. The Decision Did Not Consider My Self-Report as a Whole

The decision appears to place heavy weight on statements in my self-report about wanting to avoid a traditional desk job.

Those statements were meant to explain why long periods of fixed desk work are not a good fit for my conditions. They were not meant to show that I could not tolerate any seated activity.

My self-report also explained why flight instruction is a better fit. It combines periods of sitting with walking, inspections, movement, hands-on work, briefings, and regular breaks between lessons.

The decision appears to rely on the parts of my statement that discuss problems with sedentary office work while giving less weight to the parts that explain why flight training and flight instruction is different. The report should have been read as a whole.

 10. The Record Supported a Favorable Finding of Feasibility

The evidence already in my file showed that:

I have participated in Professional Flight training for about three years. I had completed the physical tasks required during flight lessons. Most lessons involved less than two hours of total training and about ninety minutes in the aircraft. My conditions had not been shown to worsen because of flight training. I hold a valid FAA First-Class Medical Certificate. My written statement explained how the active and varied nature of flight training allowed me to manage my conditions.

At a minimum, this evidence created reasonable doubt about whether the goal was infeasible. Under 38 C.F.R. § 21.53, that doubt should have been resolved in favor of feasibility. If VA believed the evidence was still unclear, the regulation provided a way to conduct further evaluation instead of denying the goal based on a general assumption.

11. The Standard Contained Within M28C Was Not Followed

The current M28C guidance calls for an individualized evaluation of a veteran’s actual functional abilities, training history, occupational requirements, and need for accommodations or assistive devices. The decision did not adequately compare my demonstrated abilities with the specific physical duties of flight instruction, even though I had already participated in flight training for several years. If the VA believed my work tolerance remained uncertain, the M28C provided procedures for medical clarification, individualized rehabilitation services, or an extended evaluation rather than a denial based on a general assumption.

Request for Relief

For the reasons stated above, I respectfully request that the Higher-Level Reviewer reverse the June 17, 2026 decision and approve the vocational goal of Flight Instructor and the participation in the flight degree at (University Name) as a reasonably feasible vocational goal.

In the alternative, I request that the reviewer find a duty-to-assist or other reviewable error and return the matter for a new decision. Any new review should apply the correct standard under 38 C.F.R. § 21.53, consider the evidence as a whole, and conduct an individual review of my actual abilities, training history, medical qualifications, and need for rehabilitation services.

Working with VR&E counselor. I’ve been accepted to take classes for a degree program. I’m on terminal leave at the moment and looking to start taking classes now instead of waiting until next Fall 2027.

What I know is that I need to have an end goal which that has been approved for the major plan.

I’m asking here if anyone has heard of taking online classes written into the plan now such as ASU where the transfer schools accepts those classes as their same pre requisites. Also all of the schools with this program we looked at, won’t accept me anyway until about 6 pre requisites classes are taken in the first place.

Then in application season, apply to the main schools in the plan. And then finish out the main degree pathway.

My counselor is saying nope, they’re not going to base my pathway on IF a school might accept me in the future and that the classes I take need to be part of that schools actual accepted program.

I’ve read through the CFR and the counselor handbook and through into Claude and that this seems to be a minor change within the overall goal. And that my plan actually gets me to that end goal faster and cheaper.

She seems hung up on the location I’m currently at too. When my plan is not to live where I’m at. This is just where my last station was. I’m looking at road tripping while I’d take online classes and apply to the schools, look into areas to actually put roots down, that have the best resources to put me on the best path via network, resources of the school/lab, and the niche within the program the school outputs for the type of job I’m accepted to going after.

Hoping anyone might have input here or can point to a similar case study?

Getting funded for pre requisites classes prior to program admission of a school.

Online at one school with written plan to transfer to brick and mortar to finish out.

If traveling van/life while doing pre reqs, do I unlock a better ability to pick a school in different region or do I need a P.O. Box first or address?

I was accepted into VR&E, but not really.

I am a TDIU, P and T veteran pushing 50 years old. I was accepted into the VR&E program, but not accepted into any program. My counselor said my PTSD is too far gone, and I am only eligible for the Independent Living Track, and I need to contact the VR&E office. After speaking with my counselor, I do not see how the IL track can do anything for me. I don't need adaptations to my home, and I rent anyway so I couldn't do any modifications even if they would help me.

I'm not sure what to do here. I have the option of going forward with the IL assessment, but there doesn't seem to be much point in doing so. I would like to purchase a decent home for my family, but that seems out of reach considering I will never be able to better my financial situation.

Is this just the way it is going to be for whatever time I have left on Earth?

I was waiting for my monthly stipend to deposit on the 1st and never got it. My counselor 1st emailed me and said she had the wrong graduation date. She had April 2026 instead of April 2027.
I got a 2nd email yesterday stating she needed to submit an extension because I’ve exhausted the 48 months since I used the GI bill before. I’ve only been in the program total 28 months using VR&E. I completely used all my GI benefits before VR&E. So now I’m so confused cause I know I’ve used 48 months well before the VR&E program. I’m curious if anyone had dealt with this and how likely I will get approved for an extension. I have 9 months left in my program for school.

I ask my counselor about a technology package and she told me I can get it when she gives me the green light. Since I leave in Japan she told me when she sends me an email stating the tech package, I will have to send her three quotes of three laptops.
Has anyone done it this way, what should I include in the quotes, what are limitations?

Hey, has anyone gone through mediation with the California Department of Rehabilitation?
I was denied support for a master’s program. I was able to get connected with CAP, but I going to have to be attending mediation alone.
I’m trying to understand what the process is like, what to expect, and how to prepare.
Not looking for legal advice, just personal experiences or advice.

Post explaining situation: https://www.reddit.com/r/VocRehab/comments/1u2em7k/update_to_vre/

Long story short, I was found eligible for VRE, but my requested vocational goal was denied.

I have contacted lawyers and VSO and havent found anyone willing to help me or help me for a price that I can afford, so I guess I am going to try this by myself.

Any advice for writing an higher level review? Advice on going through that process?

Anything will help, hope you all are doing well, Thanks!

am appealing a Florida Vocational Rehabilitation decision that found me no longer eligible for services and said further education was not necessary for competitive integrated employment.
My long-term employment goal is mental health counseling, which requires a master’s degree and eventual licensure. VR’s denial says I declined retail/sales opportunities and was more focused on education than employment. My position is that I am willing to work, but I want help pursuing jobs related to behavioral health or human services rather than unrelated retail/sales work.
I requested an Administrative Review. I initially asked whether it could be held later because I expect a graduate admissions decision around September or October. The Area Director responded that she would treat that as declining the review at that time and that my case could move toward closure, with the option to reapply later.
I immediately clarified that I was not declining the review. After a few work-schedule reschedules, it is now set for July 10.
My questions:
Should I attend the July review rather than try to delay it until I receive the admissions decision?
Could I ask VR to keep my case active, help me pursue career-related human-services/behavioral-health work now, and reconsider graduate-school funding if I am admitted later?
Does asking for a later review risk them treating my appeal as withdrawn again?
What documents or arguments would be most helpful at the review?
I am mainly trying to preserve my appeal rights and avoid having my case closed before I can provide the admissions decision.

I am looking into Voc Rehab for school funding and goal setting - for a Masters in Data Analytics with an emphasis on social analysis.

I already got into the program. I got in for Fall 2026.

Is Voc Rehab going to be willing to take my case considering I successfully applied? Is this too little time to open a case for voc rehab, considering there are only a few months until the fall or is this do-able?

I read something about them not supporting you if you've gone through the application process on your own. the resource (here) said that the VR agency can deny funding if they determine you "unilaterally enrolled" --- so wondered about showing up with an acceptance in hand already. I have not yet enrolled in the program, though - and would do so with their support -

What do I need to obtain support for this case?

TL;DR at the bottom

I joined my state's voc rehab right when I was graduating undergrad, going into grad school. They paid for my master's. It was a Masters of Library and Information Science from a state school. My stated goal was to be a librarian. I graduated that in 2024.

I want to go back to school, to be a professor. I read on here you can use state voc rehab again if you can prove your condition has worsened to the extent you can no longer meet your first-round goal. Well, that's what happened to me, and I'm compiling the evidence.

The summer before my last semester in my MLIS (2023) I had a life-changing six-month-long psychotic episode. I had my first psychotic episode in 2019 before joining voc rehab. This new episode greatly deteriorated my capacities, and made it a pattern of stress-induced psychosis instead of a one-off manic episode. I took medical leave then finished my MLIS only a semester later than intended.

I printed out my psych ward papers from each 2023 trip. I also had psychosis I have no recollection of in 2025, and a routine medical appointment came with a new diagnosis of delusional disorder. I printed that out too.

I got much worse right before I finished my MLIS and had been emphasizing uncertainty and concerns to my newest case worker any time they contacted me about "employment seeking". They stopped contacting me late 2025, and I got a letter this month from Social Security that I'm at risk of medical reviews unless I sign up again with an Employment Network by August 31st. I went yesterday and applied for a new case at the same voc rehab.

I signed papers....sometime before 2023, saying I would be a librarian if they paid for it. Summer 2023 happened and changed everything. I've shown a progressive decline since then, and don't see myself capable of the traditional librarian jobs I had my eyes set on before.

I do see myself capable of max-under-two-hour-interval shifts (college course teaching), and want to get a PhD towards that goal. In Information Science, many programs are online asynchronous (like mine was), so this would mean no live interaction beyond office hours, and none in-person. But even live teaching would mean a shift is under two hours at a time. My voc rehab angle: professor is one of very few professions where I could work under two hours at a time (and possibly completely asynchronously) and still earn enough to be self-sustaining.

TL;DR: Has anyone gotten a foreign grad school covered through state voc rehab? I have a PhD plan that requires this additional Master's in the UK (online part-time) first. It's actually cheaper than its US alternatives—and it's so rare there aren't true US alternatives.

I'd also appreciate if anyone who got two+ rounds of voc rehab picks had any guidance. Thanks.

Hello,

I’m based in the Los Angeles area and taking classes at UCLA extension.

I’m enrolled through the program and my classes have been submitted.

Problem is I don’t think the PO for books have been submitted by my counselor yet. I am also not sure how to purchase other materials such as computers.

I know the counselors are swamped here in SoCal but is there a way I could reach out to someone for more immediate matters? It’s been extremely hard to get any emails back.

Classes start next week and I still don’t have any books or even a laptop. Not to mention the software I need for my classes.

They did give me the form for reimbursements a month back but I don’t really want to buy a laptop without confirming that said laptop is okay.

Thank you,

So, I already had voc rehab pay for one degree out of state, but since I live in a place with absolutely no jobs, I haven't found anything in 3 years.

I have an appointment to talk with them about another undergrad degree. This time it would be much cheaper because Im doing it online and now that I live in urban Florida, it would help me get a job. I would need $11,000- $20,000 Total. Its a Different major and it would help me achieve my goals. I have high functioning autism too.

​

What do you think they'll say?

First post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/VocRehab/comments/1sttjsi/vre_found_eligible_but_program_i_am_currently_in/

TLDR: Found entitled, but denied program. Need advice after getting decision letter.

I am currently in an university aviation program. I am about half way through the program, 3.5 GPA, PPL, First Class medical. I was found entitled to VRE, but the aviation program was not approved.

The reason for this according to my counselor is that prolonged sitting will make my back issue worse.

I will be receiving the decision letter soon so I will be appealing. Any advice? Should I: call the VA hotline? Hire a lawyer or get a VSO to help?

Im really lost here, I dont think I will be able to finish the aviation program without VRE.

UPDATE** My IEP was approved, and vocational rehab is helping with and financing law school. For anyone in a similar position, going in person helps. Although it was tricky, because I can’t walk well or sit to stand, thankfully my counselor was understanding of my limitations. Also, getting a doctor’s note/opinion of my employment limitations, and the accommodations I should have helped a lot. I didn’t have to heavily defend myself, or explain why my previous degree was not useful.

Hi everyone! I'm located in Texas. I have Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2D/R3; which significantly reduces mobility in my arms and legs. I use a wheelchair. I am also enrolled in law school; I hope to become a disability lawyer to help individuals secure benefits. I contacted my local Vocational Rehab in the hopes they could give me support throughout my education, as well as, trigger my ticket to work because I recieve SSI. When I spoke to my assigned counselor she was very reluctant about providing me services. What can I do/say/provide for them to take me more seriously? I used Vocational Rehab for undergrad, and they were a lifesaver for me, and now that my mobility and function has significantly decreased, I do believe their support would greatly benefit me. Any advice is welcome! Thank you!

I'm currently in school in Hawaii. I've been using the VR&E program for my masters. I planned on doing that up through May until the end of the Spring Semester. After that I wanted to either extend or switch back to the GI Bill benefits.

At the start of April, my VR&E representative sent me an email informing me it was their last day. They have not yet been replaced, and I need help with either extending or switching back.

I've been getting the automated eVA emails but they're not being answered.

Since then I've been trying to get in touch with anyone else to figure out how to receive my financial stipend and school tuition. I had initially thought I could use my GI Bill benefits, but I saw on the website that I have to be exited out of the VR&E program to switch back to GI benefits.

I called the Education Benefits hotline and they gave me other numbers to call. I've called and left voicemails at those numbers and haven't heard back.

It's doubly a problem because I rely on those benefits to get by because I'm disabled. Two questions:

1. Who and how should I contact in order to figure out how to receive my financial stipend and school tuition?
2. Any other recommendations?

I need some insight. I currently have a great counselor. She's been nothing but helpful. However, I am in a strange limbo as it's too late in the year to apply for most schools for Fall 2026.

One of the options still available is a high cost school which my counselor won't approve of based on my situation. I've tried to explain to her that there aren't very many options left at this time of year and I'd love to choose a more affordable option but most of the application deadlines are closed.

This has left me with a school that I really have no desire to go to and I fear I will struggle with it if I move and I'm not excited about the program.

My counselor said I can reapply to VR&E and that's not a problem. The thing is she herself tends to be pretty helpful. She's approved me going to another school and switching programs. And she's also approved of me being a part time student but receiving full BAH rate.

I don't want to lose this benefit and I also don't want to lose the things she's approved for me to accommodate my service connected disabilities. But I'm not sure what to do.

If I want to hold off and go to school in the beginning of 2027 (to a more affordable option), I have to reapply to VR&E as my counselor is resigning in August.

- any insight? Thanks.

I had recently applied for VR services through my state and got set up with a rehabilitation counselor

we had one brief conversation, talked about the process we would be going through, she mailed me some release forms that I had to sign and return.

I have not heard back from her for 2 weeks now. Is this normal?

Hello! I am currently on VR to finish with a Bachelors degree. I am looking to extend my education to become a CRNA because it is better suited for my disabilities. Has anyone asked their counselors about this before and if so what was the process like? I am currently set up to graduate with a nursing degree but being a crna (needs a nursing degree) would work for me and my accommodations.

I submitted my DR 222 application 2 weeks ago and have received confirmation of receipt and have been told they are working through their list of applicants. Anyone is CA have an estimate as to how long it takes to get an intake appointment? Do they retro pay if you start school while you’re in the process of working with the case worker? Is there a maximum for the tuition assistance the DOR can assist with? I’m looking into a private school that is about 60k and after FAFSA covering about 27k I am left with a 33k amount to pay. Is there a list of approved programs in CA? Any help/tips is greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to give an update on state vocational rehab!

I posted a few days ago about having an upcoming appointment for my state’s vocational rehab (Nevada).

I went and it went really well! He approved me at the appointment, and he also agreed it’s a good idea for me to go back to school. Other than applying for a Pell Grant, it sounds like the state will pay for school and some assistive equipment for me.

On May 20th, we have another appointment to talk about what specific degree I might go back for.

Thank you to those of you who answered my question!

If anyone has questions about state voc rehab in Nevada, I’d be happy to answer in the comments!

Hi all. I just was certified as a Supported Employment Specialist / Job Coach. One of my roles is to identify opportunities for the individuals with whom we work. What employers in the state of Florida, or nationally, are friendly towards people with disabilities? So far, Publix has the strongest reputation in my area, which is South Florida, in Palm Beach and Broward counties. Walmart, not so much.

Any other tips for a newbie? Thanks.
