New York (State). Education Dept. Office of Vocational Rehabilitation.

Hide Profile

In 1920 the federal government appropriated funds to be distributed to state governments for vocational rehabilitation of the disabled. The same year, New York's legislature accepted the state's share of these funds (Chapter 760). The Bureau of Rehabilitation was established in 1921 in the Division of Vocational and Extension Education with offices in New York City, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo to administer the program. The Bureau was upgraded to Division status in 1934 and then became a Bureau again in 1938. The Regents designated the unit as the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation in 1944.
