CAP is an advocacy program for customers and applicants in Washington state seeking vocational rehabilitation services from the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), Department of Services for the Blind (DSB) and Tribal Vocational Rehabilitation (TVR) programs, and Centers for Independent Living (CILs). If you are receiving services from one of these organizations, CAP services are available at no cost to you. CAP provides information about vocational rehabilitation programs, processes and services. CAP also helps customers understand their rights and responsibilities and navigate the rehabilitation process.

CAP attempts to resolve disagreements informally through discussions with program employee(s) involved as a first step. CAP is mandated to resolve issues at the lowest possible level, which includes information and referral and support with self-advocacy. The Client Assistance Program (CAP) is a private non-profit organization funded by the Federal Government under the 1973 Rehabilitation Act as amended.

I worked for Washington State Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) for almost 25 years. I loved every day working at DVR, it allowed me to express my passion and dedication to the community in assisting individuals with disabilities obtain and maintain employment.

Great House Construction was a small business that I co-owned providing residential repairs and remodels.

I was happy to support Dream Dinners in expanding their franchise stores, and training new owners.
