FAQ
Is there a cost for Pre-ETS services?
No. Pre-Employment Transition Services are funded through Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities and are completely free to eligible students and their families.
Does my student need a formal VR case to receive Pre-ETS?
Not necessarily. Students who are Potentially Eligible (PE) can access Pre-ETS without a full Vocational Rehabilitation case. Documentation of a disability is all that’s needed to get started.
What age does my student need to be?
Students must be between 14 and 21 years old and still in a secondary education program (or the equivalent) to qualify for Pre-ETS.
Can schools refer students directly?
Absolutely. Educators, school counselors, and transition coordinators can refer students by helping them complete the Request for Pre-Employment Transition Services form, or by contacting our team directly.
Where are services provided?
1st Choice Family Services partners with OOD to deliver Pre-ETS across Ohio. Services can take place in schools, at community worksites, or in other settings tailored to the student’s needs.
