The Comprehensive Vocational Evaluation includes a complete review of medical and psychosocial issues and administration of the following tests: vocational interest inventories, work values, aptitudes, academic achievement and personality assessments to assist the client to develop several specific job goals.

Work Site Assessments
Worksite Assessments are used to evaluate the suitability of a job and/or the environment for the individual. It typically involves observing the individual undertaking tasks associated with their job where it is safe and practicable to do so. Worksite Assessment findings can then be integrated to match the needs of the employer and their organization to identify whether the individual can manage the essential tasks of the job or, alternately, to identify a suitable vocational rehabilitation program that seeks to improve productivity and satisfaction.
Individual Unemployability Reports (IU)
“Individual Unemployability,” or IU, is a way for the Veterans Affairs (VA) to compensate veterans at the 100 percent rate who are unable to work because of their service-connected disability. This is the fastest-growing part of the disability compensation program. Our Total Disability and Individual Unemployability (TDIU) reports consists of four parts: a medical record review, standardized vocational diagnostic interview, work, and transferable skills analysis, and, when necessary, testing to make a determination of the veteran’s ability to perform a gainful work activity.
