What you should know about this site
Information that the Council seeks via this site is broad-ranging advice regarding policy direction as it effects individuals with disabilities rather than specific individual experiences. You may tell us your individual experiences and we may find, (if your experience is similar to that of others), areas that need improvement by ACCES-VR but the information can not be kept confidential.
It may be to your benefit to contact your counselor directly regarding any complaints you may have regarding service. If you cannot reach an agreement with your counselor, you may contact ACCES-VR’s consumer complaint line by calling 1-800-222-5627.
