GVRA Intake and Counseling Information

Before you start

  • IEP or 504 plan, evaluations, disability and medical records, employment interests, work experiences, accommodations, identification, Social Security card, benefits information, and transition contacts.

Who to contact

Use the official destination above, the county-assigned DBHDD Regional Field Office, the contact on the controlling notice, or the program-specific help route cited here.

Step by step

  1. Review the IEP for employment goals and unfinished adult-agency handoffs.
  2. Complete GVRA's official online referral or call 844-367-4872.
  3. Track the school and GVRA processes as separate records.

Expected next

An intake specialist schedules an application appointment, a counselor gathers information, and GVRA makes an eligibility or planning decision.

Save this proof

Referral confirmation, appointment, submitted records, consent, notices, plan, and next-event date.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Call GVRA Customer Care at 844-367-4872 and ask who owns the referral, whether an application was completed, and what event is next.
