Northern Arapaho Vocational Rehabilitation (NAVR) offers transition services for Native American students with documented disabilities.

NAVR can help students purchase contacts or glasses, get summer employment, purchase work clothes and shoes, provide school supplies, obtain their drivers license, or pay for medical travel.
