For the purposes of improving program management and effectiveness, RSA evaluates all programs authorized by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. For example, to assess linkages between vocational rehabilitation (VR) services and economic and non-economic outcomes, RSA is conducting a longitudinal study of a national sample of VR consumers. RSA may also disseminate information on exemplary practices concerning vocational rehabilitation. You can find many of those studies and projects and their results below. In this section readers will also find summary data and statistics describing the outcomes of various programs funded by RSA, and in particular, data on individuals with disabilities served and rehabilitated (including caseload data and client characteristics) through the Title I Basic Support Program.

Employment Outcomes Tables

The following four data tables (in MS Excel file format*) were generated using data reported by State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies via the Case Service Report System (RSA-911) for Fiscal Years 1998 and 1999. Grant award information was extracted from the U.S. Department of Education's - Education Central Automated Processing System (EDCAPS) - Grant Administration and Payment System (GAPS) - Disbursement Report for the same period.
