State of California Department of Rehabilitation

Hidden right up on the hill off Friar’s Road in Mission Valley is the San Diego office of the State of California Dept. of Rehabilitation. I went there recently to turn in a scholarship that my son applied for and rather than mail this big packet, I just drove it up. What a nice office this is. The employees seem fairly helpful, despite the bureaucracy surrounding them.
The state website says this about the Dept. of Rehab: «The Department of Rehabilitation assists Californians with disabilities obtain and retain employment and maximize their ability to live independently in their communities. Working with individuals of every type and category of disability, DOR provides vocational rehabilitation services to eligible Californians. They also provides ADA technical assistance and training and funds 29 Independent Living Centers which offer information and referral services to assist individuals with disabilities live active, independent lives.
Vocational Rehabilitation services are designed to get Californians with disabilities prepared for employment and can include training, education, transportation and job placement.» They also assist high school students who have received special education services prepare for life after high school. The Dept. of Rehab worked with my son and got him a job after school that has now turned into a permanent part-​time job. For that, I am eternally grateful. Not every state office run by Sacramento is as deserving of the 5 STAR Unilocal REVIEW as the Dept. of Rehabilitation. Congratulations to them~
