Improving outcomes for students with disabilities

VR Nevada offers collaborative services to educators to support the transition of students with disabilities from school to work and independent life. Collaborations between our agency, educational partners, students and families helps boost positive post-school outcomes, including graduating high school, attending postsecondary training or education, gaining paid employment, and living independently.

We encourage counselors and teachers to include us in Individualized educational plan (IEP) meetings so that the services we offer may be integrated into students’ and parents’ post-school goals. To do so, contact our Statewide Transition Coordinator, at pre-ets@detr.nv.govopens a new window.

Our staff is available to give vocational rehabilitation-related presentations to middle and high-school classes.

VR Nevada works with educators and students at public, charter and private schools throughout Nevada.

Based on the student’s interests and preferences, our staff will create a transition plan that includes the activities and services to help students develop the skills they need to succeed in employment and the community. Our vocational rehabilitation counselors are certified and trained to assist students in exploring different careers and jobs that best match their strengths, abilities, interests and the job market. We make regular visits to school campuses to conduct orientations for newly referred students, and to meet with those students who currently receive transition services.

Our pre-employment transition services include the following:

  • Collaboration with school district staff to assist in transition planning.
  • Assessments to determine job-related skills and abilities.
  • Assistance with college or trade school orientation.
  • Assistive technology.
  • Career counseling and guidance, and job placement services.

Work-based learning opportunities for students to explore employment options.
