What is RTS?

The Rehabilitation Technology Service (RTS) supports individuals with disabilities in preparing for, securing, and maintaining employment. We work in partnership with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) to provide technology, assessments, and support tailored to each individual's needs.
