| RD Michaels provides an Independent Comprehensive Vocational Evaluation/Assessment that is tailored to the individual and to the needs of the referral source. There is no "one size fits all!" No "slots" to be fit into. Based upon our perusal of the file materials and the client's/claimant's initial interview, we utilize appropriate tests and test instruments to fit the individual's needs. His/her aptitudes, abilities, interests, behavioral preferences, and employment history are important and fundamental factors in the world-of-work. Each factor is just one piece of a jig-saw puzzle. No one factor can define someone's needs, but when they are all put together, a complete picture of the individual as a worker is formed. From this picture, Realistic Occupational Options™ can be suggested, as may be appropriate. RD Michaels has been an established name in the field of Vocational Testing and Evaluation and Vocational Rehabilitation since 1978, conducting thousands of Vocational Assessments and career tests. We provide innovative Coast-to-Coast Vocational Expert Services in Canada and the U.S.A., in Personal Injury, Matrimonial, and Medical Malpractice matters. The RD Michaels' Independent Comprehensive Vocational Evaluation/Assessment is designed to assess a person's strengths and areas of need through a series of Vocationally Oriented testing. A comprehensive Vocational Expert Report, including recommendations for Realistic Occupational Options™, if applicable, is provided to help make any Return-to-Work decisions. RD Michaels provides Independent Vocational Implications File Review™ when a face-to-face Vocational Evaluation is not possible. Vocational Implications of Surveillance Video, and Rehabilitation Services Audits™ are also offered. We also provide Second Opinion services. Testing may be conducted in any language with the aid of a translator, for the hearing impaired with an interpreter, and for the visually impaired with 4/400± vision. Surcharges may apply.
