In honor of Airman Apprentice Cameron Scott Walters, 21, of Richmond Hill, Georgia, who was tragically killed at the Pensacola Naval Air Station a week ago, all flags on state grounds are to fly at half staff on Monday, December 16. The Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency (GVRA) joins the rest of the state in observing this Executive Order and in keeping Mr. Walters' family in our thoughts. 

The Research and Evaluation Unit (REU) at Institute on Human Development and Disability (IHDD) at University of Georgia (UGA) is conducting a Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment (CSNA) on behalf of the Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency (GVRA) and the State Rehabilitation Council (SRC) and we are seeking input from all stakeholders regarding competitive, integrated employment for Georgian’s with disabilities. 

Goal of the Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment (CSNA):  

The goal of this needs assessment is to collect information on the need for services and gaps in services for job seekers with disabilities in Georgia. This information will inform GVRA’s portion of the Georgia Unified State Plan. GVRA wants to provide the best services possible and needs your input to help GVRA improve services for individuals with disabilities.
