Rehabilitation Process

The mission of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) is "to enable individuals with disabilities to obtain and keep employment." Employment contributes to a person’s ability to live independently in their community. DVR staff believe that every person has the right to work.

With offices statewide, DVR has been a partner with Washington State’s communities for over 70 years. As a division of the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), DVR is designed to help meet the employment needs of people with disabilities and of businesses.

We hope you will find the staff and services provided by DVR a key to reaching your goal of employment. Providing quality service is our top priority. DVR is always looking for ways to improve services. We value your feedback. Your comments are always welcome. Participant comment cards are available in each of our offices.

If you have questions or need information, a customer service representative is available to assist you Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM by calling 1-800-637-5627 (V/TTY). In the Olympia area or from outside Washington state call (360)438-8000 (V/TTY).
