Vocational Evaluation is an educational process in which the person served obtains greater self and work knowledge through participation in work activities designed to evaluate vocational skills, interests, and abilities. Participants learn about the functional impact of their disability in relation to their career options. They also learn about assistive technology and the devices and accommodations needed to remove barriers to employment. The evaluation process encourages personal involvement in career planning and development and empowers persons served by increasing their self-confidence in career decision making.
