Your Future Starts Now

Clients must be at least 15 years old and still enrolled in school.  You need to contact your local Colorado Division of Vocational Rehabilitation office to let them know you would like to participate in services.  DVR staff will reach out to set-up an appointment for you to sign paperwork for services.  Once that is done, they will give you a list of local providers for you to choose from.  Once you choose a provider, and they receive an authorization from DVR, services may begin.
