Home Page
The HOME page has links to the eight chapters. Clicking on these titles or the images below them will take you to that chapter’s content. You can also hover over the CHAPTERS drop-down menu at the top right corner of the site to move between chapters.
At the very top of the website, there are links to each section of the website:
- HOME – returns you to the Home page

Chapter Pages
At the top of each chapter page is that chapter’s title. Some of the chapters begin with an Overview Video, located next to the chapter title. Below the title and Overview Video is the main content of the chapter.
Tabs
Chapter content is separated into tabs. Tabs are the titles located across the top of the box. To move through the chapter content in order, click on the tabs from left-to-right. Once you’ve clicked on a tab, scroll down to read the information on that page.
Worksheets
Within the section tabs there are links to various worksheets that you can use for your business planning. These worksheets should be downloaded and saved on your computer prior to using them so you don’t lose your answers.
The print-only versions of each chapter, as well as all other worksheets or documents, are also located in the MATERIALS page at the top of the site. From there, all content can be downloaded and printed in multiple formats.
Section Review
Some of the tabs may have Section Review buttons at the bottom of the page. Click on the button to open pop-up slideshows that have short review questions and answers.
To exit a slideshow presentation, click on the ‘x’ in the top right corner of the slide, or anywhere on your screen outside of the slideshow. This will take you back to the tab page.
VR Counselor Review
Within each chapter review tab, there is a VR Counselor Review button at the bottom of the page. Click on these buttons to open pop-up slideshows that have specific things for counselors to consider as they work through the content with a consumer.
Check Your Understanding
Chapters 2 through 7 include a second content area called CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING, located at the bottom of the page below the main chapter content. This section contains scenarios, review questions, and answers related to the entire chapter’s content, so you can test your understanding of the chapter material.
