Department of Rehabilitation Referrals
for Seniors |

Department of Rehabilitation is an agency run by the State
of California that provides job placement for students with
an active I.E.P. D.O.R is here to help YOU fulfill your
employment goals and achieve independence. They can also
provide funding to pay for tuition and books if you plan to
pursue any post-secondary education (community college,
trade school, etc...). Every 12th grade
senior that is scheduled to exit Downey High this June
should enroll with D.O.R. NOW. As a student,
you will be given priority enrollment as oppose to waiting
until after graduation when the wait and process will be
longer. If you have not signed up for Department of
Rehabilitation, please see your counselor or Ms. Brady in
her office between rooms C-2 and C-3.
