ACCES-VR - Vocational Rehab
Adult Career Continuing Education Services-Vocational Rehabilitation
During your junior and/or senior year at Ward Melville, any student with an IEP or 504 should contact the Transition Coordinator, Kelly Sullivan, to schedule an appointment for an ACCES orientation.
Transition from school to work requires a variety of supports and collaborative efforts among education and workforce programs. No one institution or organization can provide the full range of services that may be required to serve youth with disabilities. However, collaboration and coordinated efforts among education and workforce programs, including vocational rehabilitation, is essential in assisting students with disabilities to make the transition from school to work.
By working closely with school districts, the P-12 Office of Special Education and community providers, ACCES-VR helps to ensure that all youth with disabilities are prepared for employment, post-secondary education and community living when they leave school. ACCES-VR can provide a range of services to help eligible individuals reach an employment goal.
Students can still SAFELY apply for ACCES-VR services during the 2020-2021 school year. Please visit their website and and contact me with any questions about the process.
Be well,
