These services include:employment opportunities, job training and other supportive services to aid the handi capped. Through testing, a person's ability and desire to work are measured. When a person qualifies for aid from The Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, it may come in the form of tuition, books, and food allowances as is the case of the forty people currently seen by Mr. Day here at Capitol Campus. The caseload of forty persons is counseled by Mr. Day in such matters as selecting courses for best employment opportunities as well as helping to meet the needs of their specific handicap. A handicap can be as severe as diabetes or as minor as the need for corrective dentistry. Any questions on eligibility can be easily answered by Mr. Day who is on Campus each Thursday from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. in the Counseling Center.
