Advocacy for Vocational Rehabilitation ParticipantsThe Client Assistance Program assists New Yorkers with disabilities in getting the training, equipment, and services needed for employment by explaining how ACCES(formerly known as VESID) or CBVH programs work and what options are available. CAP offers information and assistance with gaining access to appropriate rehabilitation services in New York State. Advocates from the Client Assistance Program provide aid and strategies for negotiating with ACCES, CBVH, ILC's, and related service systems. CAP is committed to promoting consumer access to quality services and supports. The Western New York Client Assistance Program (WNY CAP) is a free service and serves consumers residing in: Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans, and Wyoming counties. As part of a statewide network of advocates, the CAP program is administered by the New York State Commission on Quality of Care (NYSCQC), and operates independent of ACCES or CBVH. |
