We Help Alaskans With Disabilities Get And Keep Good Jobs
Alaska DVR Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment (CSNA)
We Want Your Feedback
Alaska Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) is conducting its triennial Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment (CSNA) to better understand the employment-related needs of individuals with disabilities across Alaska.
The CSNA helps identify strengths, service gaps, barriers to employment, and opportunities to improve DVR services and outcomes. Feedback gathered through surveys, interviews, and other outreach activities will help inform future planning, priorities, and service improvements.
We encourage individuals with disabilities, family members, employers, community partners, educators, service providers, and other stakeholders to participate and share their perspectives.
Participation is voluntary, and responses will be kept confidential. Results will be reported in summary form and will not identify individual respondents.
To participate, select the survey that best matches your role.
Available Surveys
- Participant, Guardian, and Representative Survey
- Employer Survey
- Community Partner and Stakeholder Survey
- DVR Staff Survey
Thank you for helping Alaska DVR strengthen employment opportunities and services for Alaskans with disabilities. Please contact dol.dvr.info@alaska.gov with any questions or support needed.
The survey will remain open through July 24, 2026.
Kate Duder, Director
Each year, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) helps hundreds of Alaskans with disabilities prepare for, get and keep good jobs. If you want to work or keep working and have a physical, intellectual or mental condition that makes this hard, you may be eligible for vocational rehabilitation (VR) services.
