Certified Vocational Specialsts in Louisiana
are specially trained people who provide State-funded and Private Vocational Rehabilitation Evaluation for people with
disabilities. Vocational Evaluation is a profession. There are college education and Master's Degree programs offered in Vocational Evaluation. One critical characteristic that sets Vocational Rehabilitation Evaluators apart from
Career Evaluators is that we are familiar with medical, social, psychological, and other aspects regarding people
with disabilities. We are accountable for selecting appropriate tests and
work samples and/or situational assessments to measure clients' interests and aptitudes.
We make accommodations and document it. We use assistive technology when
necessary. We retest with another instrument when necessary. We make descriptive behavioral observations. Some of us acquire
additional training and/or certifications to use specific instruments in vocational evaluation. CVS establishes the professional criteria that an invidual providing vocational evualtions or job readiness, etc.
has met that the qualificaitons to provide those services.
