What We Offer

Vocational Assessments

As circumstances of our lives change, new occupational opportunities may need to be explored. A Vocational Specialist can provide information about an individual’s skills, abilities and interests, and identify possible career paths the individual could pursue.  Support and education will assist the individual in this transition.
