MRA's mission is to promote an environment in the state of Missouri which gives persons with disabilities a fair opportunity to achieve quality of life through support of appropriate legislation and adequate funding.

Our mission is carried out by activities such as:

Missouri Rehabilitation Association

  • Provide, through conference on a state level, a forum for the discussion of all the problems relating to total rehabilitation for persons with disabilities.

  • Encourage an interdisciplinary approach to problems of rehabilitation through maximum use of knowledge and skills of all professions.

  • Public awareness in education.

  • Increase public understanding of the social and economic gain to individuals and to the State through providing opportunities for all persons with disabilities in Missouri to become self-sufficient, self-supporting and contributing members of society.

  • Support of the goals and purposes of the National Rehabilitation Association.

  • Research and training.

We believe the state of Missouri has the responsibility to provide services that empower Missourians with disabilities to contribute to the community through competitive employment and that, through their taxes, the costs for these services will be recovered many times over.

The Governmental Affairs Program of the National Rehabilitative Association offers sour members the opportunity to participate meaningfully in shaping vocational rehabilitation policy at the State and Federal levels. The Governmental Affairs Conference is held every year in Washington D.C. to provide the opportunity to advocate for persons with disabilities at the national level.

"Being the longest-serving and one of the strongest organizations in providing advocacy and awareness on behalf of individuals with disabilities, the National Rehabilitation Association's Governmental Affairs professionals are committed to communicating the importance of informed grassroots advocacy and enhanced outreach to every level of government to ensure the continuation of evidence-based rehabilitation practices and policies." - NationalRehabilitation Association
