US Families: Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) + Pre-ETS Mini-Guide

For US families and schools only. This guide explains state Vocational Rehabilitation and Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS), the US system for job support for students with disabilities aged 14-21. UK readers will find employment-focused PfA materials in my SEND job skills resources instead.

Combines Chapter 4 (Pre-ETS) and Chapter 12 (VR) from The Transition Map:

• What Pre-ETS is, who qualifies, five kinds of services
• How to ask for Pre-ETS / put it in the IEP
• Pre-ETS vs. full VR
• What VR does, who should apply, VR steps, waiting lists
• Sample Letter 2: Following Up on a VR Application

Built for transition teachers, vocational coordinators, and families. A strong fit for secondary SPED job-readiness programs.
