The Center for Rehabilitation Studies was founded in 1967 to provide professional degrees and continuing education in vocational rehabilitation services. Since that time two disciplines have been added - Social Work and Addictions; and the scope of the department has been redefined to include the development and dissemination of innovative and interdisciplinary practices that enhance opportunities for individuals with disabilities to live and work in their communities. This is accomplished through the three functional components that comprise the Department of Rehabilitation, Social Work & Addictions: academics and research, continuing education and technical assistance, and rehabilitation services, laboratories.
