Vocational Rehabilitation: 100 Years of Investing in America 

One hundred years ago today, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Smith-Fess Act, in turn establishing America’s public vocational rehabilitation (VR) program. In the century since, this program has helped ensure that Americans with disabilities who want to work can work and, if needed, access services and supports to help them do so. 

As the collective voice for chief administrators of state VR agencies, the Council of State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation (CSAVR) is proud to honor VR’s centennial and use the occasion to illustrate its value to individuals, employers and communities across the nation. 

We hope you will join us by exploring our historical timeline (https://www.csavr.org/vr-100-timeline) of the events that have shaped the VR program since its establishment. Of course, we also hope you will join us in supporting VR’s ongoing success—for the next 100 years and beyond.
