Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services is a state and federally funded agency working with people with disabilities to assist in finding employment. Roberta describes the work evaluation people would go through to determine what help they might need to do a job. However, at the end of evaluation, people wound up working in the sheltered workshop.

Instead of telling people what job they could have, counselors learned how to empower individuals. Roberta explains, "It's all individualized. So, you know, so we work with people to get them through that process so that they can figure out what kind of job they want." Roberta was interviewed in 2019.
