Abstract
In this article, we describe stroke survivors as an emerging vocational rehabilitation (VR) clientele. Following an overview of the incidence, prevalence, and impact of stroke, the authors present strategies to meet the service and support needs of Americans with stroke across the phases of the VR process. The importance of individualized case planning, employer consultation, workplace accommodations, interface with medical and mental health professionals, and implications of the Coronavirus pandemic is emphasized throughout the article.
