Working with its partners in the Maine Department of Labor's CareerCenter and the rehabilitation community, the Bureau of Rehabilitation Services (BRS) works with persons with disabilities through its three primary service provision units: Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), Division for the Blind and Visually Impaired (DBVI), and Division for the Deaf, Hard of Hearing & Late Deafened (DoD).
