The Vermont Linking Learning to Careers (LLC) program is a five-year statewide initiative designed by Vermont’s Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR). The program is intended to improve the employment and postsecondary educational outcomes of high school students who have disabilities. LLC provides enhanced services on top of the core state VR services typically provided to eligible high school students. One of these enhanced services is access to assistive technology (AT), provided by dedicated staff. This brief summarizes students’ AT needs and their experiences with LLC’s AT services.
