Both the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services (DVRS) provide services for those persons with developmental disabilities who are seeking employment. Each agency can provide services, but generally a person must first apply for employment services through DVRS, before seeking services from DDD.
DDD’s employment services include supported employment, career planning, and prevocational training services. They can assist individuals with such things as developing job skills, writing a resume, completing job applications, interviewing, getting to work, and having support staff available during the workday.

Reasonable Accommodations at Work
Everyone needs the right tools to perform a job. It makes good business sense to have a workplace that accommodates everyone’s needs. And laws, like the Americans with Disabilities Act, the ADA, and the Rehabilitation Act, are there to make sure workers with disabilities are accommodated, too.
