Vocational and Rehabilitation Services

Adults

Vocational and Rehabilitation specialists work with clients to assist them in identifying and addressing issues in the areas of community integration and participation, as well as with vocational skills development and employment placement.

Children

We provide the optimal level of training and support necessary for clients to meet their goals pertaining to everyday living, learning, and/or working in the community.

We also assist youth in gaining skills in task concentration, socialization, conflict resolution and inter-personal skill areas. Services introduce youth to new areas of interest and help youth learn about how to access community resources.

Employers

Experienced vocational staff will match employers with employees, assist in the hiring process and assist new employees to assimilate into your company work environment to achieve successful position retention.

Simply call 401-235-7105 and ask to speak with a Vocational Employment Specialist

On the Job Training

ORS will pay the employer a portion of the individual's wages during an additional training period with the expectation of employment after a specified period of time.
