Vocational
Rehabilitation
Gets Emphasis
• / :
,§J By: Bill Kiser
| Raleigh in the
continuing effort to improve
thiq programs and services
fo# the handicapped of
Ndrth Carolina, we
sometimes fed that Uttle
progress is being made.
: Eight to nine years ago, the
: handicapped and the
professional people working
witp than were acutely
‘awhre that this state had no
comprehensive rehabili
tation facilities. We
had some of the best
medical facilities in the
nation, along with many
vocational training
.programs. However, if a
citizen needed com
prehensive rehabilitation
services, he was forced to go
out of the state to receive
them. At that time, North
Carolinians could only read
about the modern
rehabilitation techniques
that were being used in
places like New York.
As a result of the
statewide survey, a few of
our far-sighted leaders
began to dream. The
Division of Vocational
Rehabilitation was given the
task of developing a long
range {dan to make such
services available in North
Carolina. After the
preliminary studies, those
dreams envolved into a plan
for a statewide system of
rehabilitation centers. The
primary goal of this system
was to provide com
prehensive rehabilitation
services in easy reach of
every handicapped citizen.
Our present comprehensive
rehabilitation centers
emerged from that research
jand planning. It was decided
that centers should be
physically connected to, or
located in close proximity
to, a general hospital to
insure medical coverage
and referral of patients to
the rehabilitation center.
These centers in
Charlotte, Winston-Salem,
Fayetteville, Asheville, and
Greenville are now serving
botV**inpatients and out
patients on a daily basis.
With little fanfare, these
regional centers have taken
their rightful places
alongside of this state’s
outstanding health
facilities. North Carolinians
are now able to receive the
rehabilitation services that
they need without having to
travel to another part of the
nation. In fact, handicapped
North Carolinians can
receive rehabilitation
services within 100 miles of
their homes.
A center to complete the
statewide system is under
develop - at Chapel Hill
which will not only serve
disabled patients and
students at UNC-Chapel
Hill, but provide valuable
educational, research, and
rehabilitation information
components.
Today these centers
represent not only brick and
mortar, but a concentration
of highly skilled
professional talent that can
aid in the restoration of the
physically handicapped.
Through the joint efforts of
many North Carolinians, the
dreams of a few passionate
and far-sighted people have
become realities.
