Assistive Technology Services are provided through our specialty Adaptive Computer and Communication Technology (ACCT) program. ACCT is designed to provide opportunities for individuals of all ages to work with specially trained staff to identify assistive technology tools and strategies which facilitate their independence in work, school or at home. Incorporating these tools may improve the functional abilities of individuals with physical, sensory, cognitive or communicative limitations.

Extended/Sheltered Employment through R.I. Industries provides employment opportunities and supportive rehabilitation services to adults with disabilities who-at the time of admission-are unable to work in the competitive labor market due to limited skills and/or work experience. Workers may gain experience through Rehabilitation Institute Industries that will help them transition into other community job opportunities.

Consulting Services are designed for individuals who experience a disability or injury which impacts or challenges their ability to return to or retain employment. Persons participating in the Consulting Services typically have been injured/disabled on the job or have a non-work related injury/disability which adversely affects their ability to perform the essential functions of their job and may have a need for additional rehabilitation services that have not yet been identified.

School to Work Transition Services include a sequence of activities designed to help high school students with disabilities develop a plan for post-secondary employment or training that matches their interests, abilities and needs. Services are closely coordinated with families, school district personnel and sponsoring agencies (usually state Vocational Rehabilitation.)
