In 1958, a group of concerned citizens and public service organizations set out to change the world. Their goal was simple-to furnish every person who wanted to work, regardless of their limitations, a fair opportunity to earn a living. Almost fifty years later, the results of that fateful decision can be seen and felt throughout the region.

A systematic approach using work to assess an individual's work potential and work behavior is done by incorporating medical, psychological, social, educational, and economic information to assist an individual in vocational development and planning. Vocational evaluations help individuals who are changing careers, returning to work, or entering work for the first time to determine their best career options.

I am so thankful we were sent to Wiregrass Rehabilitation. My only regret is not knowing about this place sooner. My son has joined the teen transition program. They're helping him navigate the road to Independence. They're also helping us out with getting him an electric wheelchair. Cost for services and equipment is based on income, and we have little to no copay.
