Habilitation Services and Vocational Rehabilitation Services are from different public agencies and offer different services. DDS runs the Habilitation Services Program through regional centers. Habilitation services can be long-term. You can get them until you retire. DOR runs the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program. You can only get vocational rehabilitation services for a limited time.

After you decide you want to work, the regional center will find a provider to help you. Some providers use funding from DOR to help you find a job, then later transfer your supports to DDS. Other providers do not work with DOR. They receive funding from DDS to help you to find and keep a job. Both programs give you support for work and work-related activities.
