Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center School Description

Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center provides people with disabilities comprehensive, individualized services to realize optimal personal independence and employment.

The Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center is the first state-owned and operated comprehensive rehabilitation center in the country. Staff at WWRC provide training and therapy to people with disabilities to enable them to re-enter the work force and live more independently. The Center is named for President Woodrow Wilson, born in nearby Staunton, Virginia and who signed into law the first federal Vocational Rehabilitation Act in 1920, providing services for people with disabilities in industry.

For sixty years, WWRC has been making a difference in people’s lives. We enjoy a strong heritage of service to people with disabilities in the Commonwealth of Virginia dating back to 1947 when our first clients were admitted. Since that time the Center has served more than 70,000 clients.

What makes WWRC a comprehensive rehabilitation center is the mix of the services and programs that it offers to people with disabilities. It is through the unique combination of vocational, medical, psychological, residential, and recreational programs and services and the interaction between the staff and the consumer that makes WWRC comprehensive. The total combination is greater than the sum of its parts and the mutual creativity, energy and accomplishments through working together are unsurpassed.

Center recreation staff promote leisure and recreation experiences as valuable dimensions of health and wellness as it applies to vocational readiness. Since persons with disabilities have the same needs for play and leisure expression as others, the Recreation Services Department offers a wide range of recreational facilities and activities in a modern, therapeutic environment. Choices range from highly-competitive athletics for the able-bodied and persons in wheelchairs, to noncompetitive sporting games and the creative arts. Structured and unstructured activities are designed to afford all participants in rehabilitation programs with opportunities to become involved. For participants who may benefit socially, emotionally, physically or mentally, special structured programs (such as Young Adults in Transition, Brain Injury Services, Supported Living Services, Leisure Skills) may be recommended.
