The National Rehabilitation Association (NRA) is a member organization that promotes ethical and state of the art practice in rehabilitation with the goal of the personal and economic independence of persons with disabilities.
Not long after Congress passed the National Rehabilitation Act of 1920, the National Rehabilitation Association (NRA) began its commitment to persons with disabilities. As the oldest and strongest advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities, our mission is to provide advocacy, awareness and career advancement for professionals in the fields of rehabilitation.
Our members include rehabilitation counselors, physical, speech and occupational therapists, job trainers, consultants, independent living instructors, students in rehabilitation programs, and other professionals involved in the advocacy of programs and services for people with disabilities.
Seven core values provide the foundation for our services and programs:
In keeping with this commitment, the NRA has contributed and supported legislation such as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and subsequent reauthorizations, WIA, and the ADA. The association's prominence and longevity is recognized by our nation's leaders and gives our members a vital role in shaping rehabilitation policy.
