Service Eligibility and Availability

-

Services are provided free of charge to the consumer. Services are provided on a first come, first serve basis. Waiting time after referral from ADRS is immediate for Job Development and Employability Development. A limited number can be served in Evaluation at one time, so the wait depends on space availability.
