*NOTE: Receiving Pre-ETS instruction provided by a USOR-sponsored contractor is the beginning of a continuum of services USOR offers to students with disabilities. Students with disabilities do not need to be a USOR-Vocational Rehabilitation client to receive Pre-ETS through our contracts, but may apply for VR services at any time. However, contractors will confirm that students meet criteria to participate in their services prior to commencing with services.
