About State of Kansas: Vocational Rehabilitation Services

State of Kansas: Vocational Rehabilitation Services in Independence, Kansas, is a vocational rehabilitation program for veterans. They provide specialized training and support services to veterans and provide access to services including resources to assist with substance use disorder. They also provide services to support individuals with disabilities.

If this speaks to you then the State of Kansas may be just the resource you’re seeking. We like that their work centers on helping you find employment and become self-sufficient. In everything they do they emphasize giving real help to aid if you’re also facing mental impairments that limit your options.

Compassionate Payment Options

Services will be made available to you regardless of your financial status. There may be some cost-sharing depending on financial guidelines and other related factors. If you qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) you will not have to share costs which is even more helpful.

Exciting Attractions in the Area

Close to the facility you can visit the Riverside Park and Ralph Mitchell Zoo. Elk City Lake and Elk City State Park are about five miles west of Independence. We also find it interesting that the Little House on the Prairie Museum is there to give you a fun historic site to visit. These local places can really make a difference as they lend to the self-care aspect which is very important in recovery.

Employment Program

The facility collaborates with local schools to offer Pre-Employment Transition Services for students with disabilities moving into employment. They create individualized plans for employment tailored to your unique goals. Their services focus on empowering you to become as independent and successful as possible.
