Hotel Roanoke, VA Transition Forum
Jan 29, 2010
The Virginia Department of Rehabilitative Services (DRS), the Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired (DBVI), and the Virginia State Rehabilitation Council invite your attendance at a Public Forum to receive comment on the DRS and DBVI Vocational Rehabilitation and Supported Employment Programs. Each year, DRS & DBVI (and all other states) prepare a State Plan that describes how Virginia provides rehabilitation services. The comments received during the public forum will be utilized in the development of the 2011 State Plans. This Public Forum is being held in conjunction with the 2010 Transition Forum.
The State Plan is updated annually and must be submitted to the federal government by July 1 of each year. You may review the current State Plan by visiting the DRS website at www.vadrs.org or the State Rehabilitation Council website at www.va-src.org.
If you cannot attend the forum in person, you may send your written comments to:
