Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services

Agency Services

Once you are eligible and ready to receive Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) services, you and your counselor will develop your Individualized Plan for Employment (IEP).

This plan will outline and explain your employment goal. It also describes the services you will need to reach your goal.

You and your counselor must both agree to the plan and sign it in order for it to be effective.

Your employment goal and IEP can be changed or modified with the approval of both you and your counselor.

Your plan will be reviewed once a year. At that time, you and your counselor will create a new plan. The new plan may be exactly the same as the old plan.

The two of you will discuss progress and make sure you are both in agreement.

The new plan is signed and put it into effect for another year. You may have the plan modified at any point.

If you choose to obtain an advocate outside of VR, you have three options:

  • Client Assistance Program (CAP), 
  • Disability Rights Iowa (DRI), or
  • another person you identify.

Your counselor can give you more information on these options.
