The Texas Workforce Commission's Vocational Rehabilitation Services (formerly the Department of Assistive Rehabilitation Services, or DARS) is a State funded program that assists individuals with disabilities in obtaining employment. People with disabilities represent the third largest market segment in the U.S., so counting individuals with disabilities among employees can help businesses better understand and meet the needs of this expanding customer base. In addition, hiring workers with disabilities could mean tax breaks
for businesses. Studies have shown that 33% of hiring managers and executives reported that employees with disabilities stay in their jobs longer.
There are over 82,000 Texans with disabilities of working age (18-64) that are actively seeking employment.
