Section 795-1-1-.01 - Purpose And Mission Statement

The Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services provides a continuum of services from birth to old age for Alabamians with disabilities. Its mission is to enable Alabamians with disabilities to achieve their maximum potential. The Department was created by the Alabama Legislature "to provide rehabilitation services, to the extent needed and feasible within resources available, to eligible children and adults with disabilities throughout the state, so that they may engage in meaningful education and employment opportunities and live independently to the extent of their capabilities, thereby increasing their social and economic well-being and that of their families, and the productive capacity of this state and nation, also thereby reducing the burden of dependency on families and taxpayers." Code of Ala. 1975, § 21-9-1 (Acts 1994, 1st Sess., No. 94-824, §1).
