·             Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Services: DRS's VR program assists Virginians with disabilities in their efforts to prepare for, find, and keep a job.

·             Supported Employment for Individuals with Physical Disabilities (SEPD): DRS's Supported Employment for individuals with Physical Disabilities program provides long-term support to Virginians with physical disabilities who need such support in order to work in integrated, competitive employment.

·             Transitional Employment Program (TEP) Services: Transitional employment means a series of temporary job placements in competitive work in integrated work settings with on-site or off-site ongoing support services for individuals with the most significant disabilities due to mental illness.
