A Plan of Your Choosing

When you are determined eligible for services, an Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) is created with your counselor. The IPE, which states your rights and responsibilities, is an agreement between you and RSC describing services which will be provided according to your choices. Since a consumer is expected to contribute to the cost of the program to the extent possible, you may be responsible for some costs of your rehabilitation plan, especially pertaining to college tuition.

When you are ready for employment, the counselor and other RSC staff will help you prepare for the job search. Your counselor can offer information on accessing public transportation (if it’s available in your community) or arranging for private transportation.  If you need job site modifications for accessibility and efficiency, your counselor can help with that, too.

RSC can also provide assistance to help you keep your job if you’re having trouble working because of your disability. The counselor can work with you and your employer to determine the services necessary.
