Should practice guidelines be developed for VR service delivery? This webcast will be a discussion with a rehabilitation researcher, a VR educator, and a VR practitioner around practice guidelines: what they are, how they are developed in other disciplines, and if they could be helpful to VR counselors and consumers.

The Center on KTDRR is collaborating with the American Institutes for Research to support webcasts and a Community of Practice to examine issues around evidence-based practice and vocational rehabilitation (VR). Practice guidelines are a strategy used in systems similar to VR to help identify and implement evidence-based practices to promote successful outcomes.
