"We are looking for a few good ideas- "



NH Vocational Rehabilitation (NHVR) helps people with disabilities go to 
work.

Last year NHVR assisted 1,087 individuals with disabilities obtain and 
maintain employment.

We are always searching for ways to improve our services.



You Can Help!



Each year NHVR holds public meetings across the State to gather input on how 
our services are working in New Hampshire.  Your thoughts are important to 
us.  We have several options for you to provide input.

You can join us at one of our scheduled meetings  (The list of meeting 
locations, dates and times are at the end of this email).

You can complete an online survey - the survey is located at: 
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/vr13



You can send your ideas to:  Ella McAllister,

21 South Fruit Street, Suite 20, Concord, NH 03301;

via e-mail -  Ella.Mcallister at doe.nh.gov ;

phone (603)271-3471 v/tty; or fax (603)271-7095.



The Agenda for the meeting includes a brief overview of NH Vocational 
Rehabilitation and the State Plan and then moves to gathering comments from 
those in attendance on the following topics:

1) How is Vocational Rehabilitation working for you;

2) What do you see as the rehabilitation needs of persons with disabilities 
in the State; and 3) Ideas you have for improvement and/or expansion of 
Vocational Rehabilitation.

If you plan to attend and require an interpreter, or other accommodations, 
call Cyndy Wisell at Vocational Rehabilitation M-F 8am-4pm: 
(603)271-3471v/tty or at 1-800-299-1647 v/tty.
