I am no longer with the YMCA. Now I'm with YES (Youth Employment Services) Job Central. Probably by the end of the year I will get a job.

Congrats!

I was finally diagnosed this year, and now can qualify for Vocational Rehabilitation, which will also help me find a job. It's taken a lot off my mind, and it feels really good to have some hope. So I understand how relieved you must feel. :)

Please tell us your experience. I've applied for Vocational Rehabilitation through my state office in Pennsylvania and I'm not optimistic. Members of My local chapter of GRASP have been not been given support, instead they've been sent to places like Walmart and Target. Would this be because they were unable to advocate for themselves?
