Texas Vocational Rehabilitation Self-Employment Services

“Are you interested in becoming your own boss by starting your own business? Self-employment support is available to individuals with disabilities in the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program.

Ask your VR counselor to explore self-employment career options. From there, your counselor can:

• explain the application and process for accessing self-employment services
• recommend small business and other resources to help you get started, and
• connect you with Certified Business Technical Assistance Consultants who will help you develop a business plan.

Once you have a business plan, your VR Counselor will work with you to determine what is needed for you to achieve successful self-employment. VR Services can help whether you are setting up a new business or if you are already a business owner and in need of VR Services.”
