These services are available without charge. They include : • medical and vocational assessments • vocational guidance and counselling • work adjustment training • job placement • artificial limbs, wheelchairs and braces • training in community colleges, universities. • trade and business institutes, and industry Last year, 11,800 handicapped persons received one or more of these services. The program also helps employers, by pre-interviewing job applicants, providing information about their abilities, sharing wage payments during initial on-the-job training, and offering many other supportive services. Through the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services, a staff of trained counsellors and supervisors helps the handicapped person develop his or her work potential. For more information, write for your copy of the free booklet "Help for the Vocationally Handicapped", which describes the Vocational Rehabilitation Services program in detail.
