The Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center (WWRC), a division of the Virginia Department of Rehabilitative Services, provides a full compliment of medical, technological, and vocational rehabilitative services to persons with disabilities. It is one of the largest and most comprehensive centers of its kind in the United States. This Center has a 50-year history of assisting persons with disabilities, and has been a constant resource for research and innovation in the field of rehabilitation. It was the first to offer computer programmer training in the nation; it was the site of the first residential Center for Independent Living in Virginia; it established the first head trauma program in Virginia; it was among the first four original Spinal Cord Injury Systems in the nation; and it offered the first computer-assisted drafting training anywhere in Virginia. I am extremely proud of WWRC and remain committed to providing quality, state-of-the-art rehabilitative services to assist persons with disabilities toward becoming employed and independent. Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center is proud of its history and looks forward to meeting the challenging needs of persons with disabilities in the future. With our new and emerging emphasis on Transition for our youth with disabilities and increased successes in finding solutions to students with significant disabilities problems through the application of Assistive Technology, WWRC is ready for the future. A painful but requisite renewal process and reorganization also positions us for assuming an even larger role as the Premier Rehabilitation Community Serving People with Disabilities. I am confident your experience with the Center will be meaningful, productive and life changing and affirming.
