OSERS Improve early childhood, educational, and employment outcomes and raise expectations for all people with disabilities, their families, their communities, and the nation. R E T H I N K OSERS will rethink anything and everything to ensure that we are in the best position to achieve our mission. Address deeply embedded and complex issues Question systems that do not facilitate the kind of improvement we know is necessary Confront structures that limit opportunities for individuals with disabilities Change policies and practices that put the needs of a system over the needs of the individual Challenge mindsets that appear intent on preserving the status quo O F F I C EO F S P E C I A L E D U C A T I O NA N D R E H A B I L I T A T I V E S E R V I C E S U .

ReThink Performance In partnership, RSA, CSAVR, NCSAB, and VR agencies are committed to rethinking the way we look at the performance of the VR program, improving results, and maintaining high expectations of both the VR program and individuals with disabilities. Using data in our decision making, we will identify strategies that RSA and VR agencies may adopt to foster continuous improvement, collaboration, and maximize high-quality employment opportunities for customers served by the VR program.
