 Native American Liaison Program (Formerly the American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Program)
The Native American Laison Program (NALP) is funded by the New Mexico Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services (NM DVR) to New Vistas. The purpose of the program is to assist NM DVR, whose goal is to help people with disabilities to achieve a suitable employment outcome. The NALP does this by informing tribal citizens living on 21 tribal areas about DVR services, identifying consumers who may become eligible for the DVR service, and, once eligible, assisting consumers until they are placed in employment. Several Native American Rehabilitation Technicians are assigned to DVR and Tribal areas within New Mexico. These Tribal areas include the 19 Pueblos and the Jicarilla and Mescalero Apache Tribe. If you are a tribal citizen and wish to contact the Rehabilitation Technician to assist you with information about DVR, please call 1(800) 737 0330, Extension 189, and leave a phone number where you can be reached. The NALP program will respond to your call ASAP. Go to www.dvrgetsjobs.com to learn more about New Mexico's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services (DVR).
