VOC REHAB ELIGIBILITY

These are just some of the services we provide to advocate for injured workers:
 
Case Management.  Vocational rehabilitation case managers develop and coordinate a variety of restorative services with the goal of assisting the injured worker to remain at work or to return to work.

Job Placement Services.   Job Placement and Development is a vocational service that assists an injured worker in returning to work by matching the injured worker‟s vocational skill and restrictions with jobs that may be available, modified or created for the injured worker.

Job Seeking Skills Training.    JSST is a specialized individualized or group program focused on job goals, application process, and developing the skills necessary to obtain employment, such as interviewing, effective employer contacts with follow up, and resume development. The injured worker should learn how to network, find job leads and use forms (RH10) for recording job contacts. The injured worker‟s presentation must be reviewed with tips on how to improve where necessary. The injured worker should learn how to address difficult interview questions, including questions about their disability and workers‟ compensation.

Vocational Evaluations.  This is a process during which a certified vocational evaluator gathers vocational information about an injured worker, usually through the use of real or simulated work to assist in determining vocational directions. The vocational evaluator uses extensive client interview and vocational exploration, as well as, psychometric testing which may include aptitude, dexterity, academic and vocational interest testing. The overall result is a report that provides recommendations about the injured worker‟s options for returning to work, within a vocational rehabilitation program. The report is based on integrating the injured worker‟s residual transferable vocational skills with their current physical capacities, and realistic return to work options which exist in the current labor market.



IVS provides vocational services throughout the State of Ohio, which includes, but is not limited to Cleveland, Lorain, Painesville, Ashtabula, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, Mansfield, Lima, Columbus, Dayton, Zanesville, Hamilton and Cincinnati.
