Washington State Rehabilitation Council

"I believe that vocational rehabilitation is the dream and desire of the vast majority of people with disabilities. I worked to employ more than 1500 people a year, specifically, an amputee who wanted to work in construction as a Craft Laborer. With his positive attitude and cooperation of the apprenticeship program and contractors, using assistive technology he completed his test and is now fully employed at a good wage and is paying taxes."

Bob's experience in the trades and in developing apprenticeship models is useful to our council. Bob advocates for students with disabilities transitioning from high school to adulthood.
