Vocational Rehabilitation....

[Guest guest]

Hi All!

I don't know if any of you are aware of Vocational Rehab. When I

was in High School and even my first two years of college my medical

and college tuition was covered by Vocational Rehab. I had a

condition on my foot where I had to have reconstructive surgery due

to an car accident back in 1990. During High School I didn't have

insurance and so I went to Vocational Rehab and they covered all my

surgeries, medicines, etc. When I started college, I still didn't

have insurance and so they covered everything that had to do with my

condition (my foot) and they covered my tuition...whatever Financial

Aid didn't cover they could cover it. One of the things to be

eligible when in college is having a 3.0 GPA but due to my

pancreatitis problems and missing classes I had to close my case

because my GPA dropped the 3.0. Now that I'm back in school I am

thinking of opening my case but not for my foot but for my

pancreatitis and stomach conditions. We'll see. This is not just

for college students this is for anyone that has a physical

impairment (which I think Pancreatitis is)....they help you find

employment, help with the medical part, etc. Here's a website where

you can find VR in your state. Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Liana
