Office of Vocational Rehabilitation; Statewide Public Meetings

[27 Pa.B. 1088]

   The Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) has been established by State and Federal law to provide vocational rehabilitation services to individuals with disabilities. Those laws require OVR to operate under State and Strategic Plans, which must be reviewed and, if necessary, revised annually. OVR is required by law to conduct public meetings in order to evaluate the effectiveness of its Plans. Accordingly, OVR has scheduled meetings throughout the State.

   As customers and providers of OVR services, your participation and suggestions will be helpful. OVR will address your concerns. Suggested topics for discussion:

   * How satisfied are you with OVR services?

   * What changes should OVR make to its program?

   * How do OVR's plans, policies and procedures affect you?

   All meeting sites are accessible. Interpreters for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing will be present at all meetings. For additional information or special accommodations, please call the telephone number listed for that meeting.

   If you cannot attend the public meetings, comments may be mailed to the OVR district administrator in your local geographic area.
