My business name is COMPASS Vocational Rehabilitation Services. The symbolic
meaning of the word “Compass” is to ‘step together’ or to ‘journey together’. It
evokes hope and inspiration as it represents guidance, safety, and security.
The services provided respect your autonomy and are designed to enable you to
regain or learn new skills, resources, attitudes and set new expectations needed
to compete in job interviews, maintain that job all the while managing your
health and wellness. Utilizing trauma informed counselling approach, we find
solutions respectfully and with compassion. I strive to reflect the impact of
disability on a person’s life especially the importance that work and education
play in achieving inclusion, autonomy, optimism and self-worth.
In addition, I also provide return to work coordination and disability management
services to employers/businesses who strive to provide an inclusive, diverse and
accommodating work environment for individuals recovering and returning from the
impact of illness, injury or disability. Furthermore, I also prepare reports for
government and insurance companies, law firms and private rehabilitation
assessment firms. I can assess an individual’s potential for employment and
provide professional opinions on the individual capabilities and the vocational
implication of a medical impairment. I can administer, score and interpret
vocational assessments and assess worker traits along with employment and
training potential.
