The Arkansas State Rehabilitation Council (SRC) is an important partner with Arkansas Rehabilitation Services (ARS) in assisting Arkansans with disabilities in going to work or remaining at work. Consistent with Section 105 of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended, the SRC reviews, analyzes, and advises ARS regarding program goals as outlined in its state plan, consumer needs, eligibility and service delivery policies and procedures, and consumer satisfaction. SRC members are Governor appointed and include individuals with disabilities, representatives from disability advocacy groups, educators, employers, and rehabilitation professionals. The SRC meets quarterly and annually submits a report to the Governor and the Rehabilitation Services Administration.
