vocational rehabilitation
Vocational rehabilitation is one aspect of the overall rehabilitation process that focuses on restoring an injured person's physical and mental capacity to perform work in a safe and productive manner.
Additional Information
This process is normally geared to individuals whose disabilities permanently prevent them from returning to their prior positions without job modification and is normally overseen by a vocational counselor or therapist. For instances involving work-related injuries, the state workers compensation act or another regulation establishes the type and range of services that must be provided the injured employee.
