Parents / Guardians

Montana Vocational Rehabilitation and Blind Services (VRBS) values the role that parents/guardians and family members play in helping their son or daughter as they transition from high school to adult life. VRBS works with students by providing Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) in order to assist the student in developing the skills needed to determine career goals and make a plan of action to set their future in motion. 

Pre-ETS are available to students with disabilities ages 14-21 who are in high school, college, or another recognized education program. 

To apply for VR services, students may ask their teacher or parent/guardian to help schedule an appointment with the VRBS Pre-ETS Specialist or the Vocational Rehabilitation Office that serves their area.
