Special Tree’s Vocational Rehabilitation Program recently
became an Approved Vocational Rehabilitation Facility through the State of
Michigan’s Worker’s Compensation Agency. This is great news to the growing
program that employs 50 workers and serves over 90 clients in three locations.
The certification means that our team will be able to serve
more individuals looking to return to work post injury. The State of Michigan
Certification allows injured workers injured with Workers Compensation
Insurance to receive vocational rehabilitation at any of Special Tree's three locations in Troy, Romulus and Midland. Our program received the accreditation by
meeting the quality standards and requirements outlined by the State of
Michigan.
"This certification increases our ability to help
individuals through their path to rehabilitation and helps our program continue
to expand and improve- And we’re really excited about that,” said Joe J. Richert, Director of Community Rehabilitation Services.
As the program continues to grow it will provide a wide variety
of supported work settings, community enclaves, as well as formal vocational
assessments and community placement services.
Special Tree Rehabilitation Services’ Vocational
Rehabilitation Program is a CARF accredited program.
