An estimated 293,000 farm workers are eligible for vocational rehabilitation (VR) services. Farm workers' disability rate is three times that of the general U.S. population. Nevertheless, farm workers are less likely than the rest of the population to receive VR services. Farm workers receiving VR services are less likely to be successfully rehabilitated. Relatively high unmet needs among farm workers are attributable to "service delivery barriers" related to special characteristics of that population. The barriers could be overcome by state VR agencies if they augmented their present service delivery systems with a system for farm workers, as described herein. Adoption of the supplementary system could be encouraged by a federally co-ordinated and funded program of grants, technical assistance and VR program adjustments.
