New York ACCES-VR Policy 1310.00: Self-Employment Policy

“Establishing or maintaining a consumer in self-employment as a rehabilitation outcome allows the consumer to be productive and become financially independent and to contribute to the State’s economic growth. Self-employment rehabilitations also allow the ACCES-VR counselor to be creative in the rehabilitation process. This policy defines the parameters of the ACCES-VR/consumer partnership needed to create a successful self-employment venture.”
