Program Description
The Siletz Tribal Vocational Rehabilitation Program (STVRP) will provide services to Tribal members with disabilities residing within the 11-county service area. The Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) services will be consistent with the individual strengths, resources, priorities, concerns, abilities, capabilities and informed choice of the program participants. These services will be designed so that eligible participants may prepare for, maintain and engage in successful employment, including self-employment or business ownership.
