    Hello Everyone,

    My colleagues and I are wondering what other VRCs are using in terms of testing and assessments for individuals with disabilities who have expressed an interest in returning-to-work.  We currently do not have any tools of this sort but are looking at purchasing a battery of items.

    What is your predominant client profile? Worker's Comp or varied disabilities?
