Comments from Administrators

“Programs like this elevate people to lead full and productive lives, to believe in themselves and make their dreams realities.”
—Dr. Frederic Schroeder, Former Commissioner of the Rehabilitation Services Administration.

“Your training has made a big difference! I'm regularly praising Christine for the effective listening and responding skills she is demonstrating. She's been very enthused over all she has learned and eager to incorporate new ideas into our process. We've gained a well-trained staff member who is effectively using her newly learned skills to engage individuals. Also, she has become a great role model to other staff.”

—Bill Gravel, Program Director, Alternatives, Unlimited, Inc., speaking about staff member Christine Olley, a graduate of the Certificate Program in Psychiatric Vocational Rehabilitation.
