Answer to Question 1

 The purpose of the state rehabilitation agencies is to provide counseling and other services to individuals who have a disability or disabilities.
 Each individual with a disability is evaluated to determine if they meet the general criteria adopted by the agency that determines eligibility for services.
 Eligibility is generally determined by two criteria 1 . Each person must have a disability that results in a substantial handicap to employment, and 2 . Vocational rehabilitation services must reasonably be expected to benefit the person relative to employment.

Answer to Question 2

 Individuals with disabilities are usually more resistive to counseling programs because of a lack of success in school and limited positive experiences at work and with work related tasks.
