Tribal Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Guide

This guide is intended to provide a basic overview of Tribal Vocational Rehabilitation services from the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation Tribal Vocational Rehabilitation (MPTN TVR) program. The Tribal VR program helps tribal members with disabilities find, get, and keep jobs. The services are provided in a culturally relevant manner and may include native healing services.

PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE

  • To help you learn more about Tribal VR services.
  • To help you to access the services you need through Tribal VR.
  • To help you to understand your rights and responsibilities in the Tribal VR system.
  • To help you to make informed choices about employment.
  • To help you become a better self-advocate.

In Rhode Island and Connecticut, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation (MPTN) operates the Tribal VR program.

Through the Client Assistance Program (CAP), DRRI can provide free legal help to apply for Tribal VR services and help you if you already have Tribal VR services.

DRRI’s CAP program can also help you apply for services from the Office of Rehabilitation Services (ORS) and help you if you already have ORS services. For more information about services from ORS see our “Guide to Services from the Rhode Island Office of Rehabilitation Services (ORS).
