Personal Stories and First-Hand Experiences
During the webinar, the panelists shared resources and organizations that have been helpful:
- Locating the Vocational Rehabilitation Services in your area: Vocational Rehabilitation | CSAVR | United States
- Identifying local Employment Service Providers (Below are examples that were mentioned during the webinar):
Before the live webinar, some of the presenters prepared a video about their employment experiences. We asked registered attendees to review them prior to the live webinar so they could prepare their questions, which were discussed during the live event.
These are the videos shared with attendees, and where you can find more in-depth information from each of our panelists:
