To qualify for Community Employment through LOGAN, clients must be referred through Indiana Vocational Rehabilitative Services (VRS). Individuals can be self-referred, or the referral can be made by family members or a support team member by calling, writing, or visiting any Vocational Rehabilitation Office.
When an individual is determined eligible for services, they are given a list of employment services providers. Once a provider is selected, VRS will forward a referral packet to LOGAN.
