Special Edition of American Rehabilitation

This year marks the 90th Anniversary of the public vocational rehabilitation program. Our program has a history of positive, creative change. To help celebrate this important milestone, RSA Commissioner Lynnae Ruttledge requested a Special Edition of the American Rehabilitation publication.

The theme for this publication is ‘Creating a Vision for 2020: Celebrating Our Past, Looking to the Future’. Partners included CSAVR, NIDRR, the ICDR, the ADA Network, and NRA.

1. The PDF file is the formal version, in full color, with photos, etc.
2. The word file is the accessible word version prepared by Suzanne Mitchell for individuals who cannot access the formal version.
