How to Get WaveLyfe Support through Utah Vocational Rehabilitation

Contact Utah VR & Apply

Reach out to your local Utah VR office and complete the application. You can attend a brief orientation and apply online or in person.

• Bring: ID, disability documentation, and (if applicable) SSI/SSDI benefit proof.
• Parents/Students (14–21): ask about Pre‑ETS (pre‑employment transition services).

Eligibility Decision

A VR Counselor reviews your application and documentation to decide eligibility. If eligible, you’ll move forward; if there’s a waitlist, they’ll explain your priority category and next steps.

Plan Your Employment Goal (IPE)

With your Counselor, create an Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) that sets your job goal and needed services (e.g., resume help, interview prep, job coaching, transportation supports).

Choose WaveLyfe as Your CRP

Tell your Counselor you’d like WaveLyfe to provide job development and coaching. VR maintains an approved list of Community Rehabilitation Providers; you have the right to choose among qualified providers.

Service Authorization & Kickoff

After authorization, WaveLyfe schedules your kickoff session. We review your strengths, interests, schedule, and accommodations, then build a job search plan aligned to your IPE.

• Resume & applications, interview coaching, employer outreach
• Supported or customized employment if needed
• Coordination with your Counselor and supports (family, school, DSPD, etc.)

Job Placement & On‑the‑Job Support

WaveLyfe works with employers, sets up interviews, and provides coaching. After hire, we help with onboarding, training, accommodations, and stabilization on the job.

Stabilization & Case Closure

When you’re stable in your job for a VR‑defined period and meeting your goal, VR may close your case successfully. If your needs change later, you can re‑contact VR.
