The Vocational Rehabilitation Act expanded services to include physical restoration and services for persons with mental limitations. Which act is this?

• A. Civil Rights Act
• B. Social Security Act
• C. Vocational Rehabilitation Act
• D. Wartime Rehabilitation Act

Answer: (C)

This item tests understanding of how vocational rehabilitation programs broadened to help more people with disabilities. The act described expanded services to include physical restoration and assistance for individuals with mental limitations, showing a shift toward comprehensive rehabilitation aimed at returning people to work and independence. It supported medical rehabilitation, training, and job placement through federal‑state partnerships, extending help beyond physical injuries to include cognitive or mental disabilities as well.

The Civil Rights Act protects against discrimination but does not establish or expand vocational rehabilitation services. The Social Security Act provides financial benefits like retirement and disability payments, not the broad rehabilitation services described. The Wartime Rehabilitation Act targeted veterans and their specific rehabilitation needs during wartime. Therefore, the act that fits this description is the Vocational Rehabilitation Act.
