Are you<br>
looking for applying VR or IL program? As far as for O & M services,<br>
both programs provide O & M but IL has a limited amount of training<br>
sessions offer to IL customers. VR program has wide range of services<br>
as long as they have to tie to employment such as AT, VR Teacher,<br>
vocational/academic employment support, adjustment to blindness<br>
counseling, medical restoration/low vision services if necessary. In<br>
order for determining what type o f services customer will need, VR<br>
Counselor has to conduct the assessment with customer to finalize what<br>
type of services customer will receive. It is very individualized. If<br>
you need more information, feel free to contact local TWC/VRS offices.<br>
Counselor of the day will be able to answer your questions you have.<br>
