Rehabilitation
Economic and personal independence for people with disabilities has long been a goal of the nation's rehabilitation program. As one of American's oldest human service efforts, the National Rehabilitation Association has helped make this goal a reality for millions of Americans with disabilities. Originally rehabilitation concentrated only on employment services. Today, there are a comprehensive array of rehabilitation services to assist people with physical and/or mental disabilities to enter or re-enter, retain employment and lead more fully functioning lives as contributing members of society.
