Which act is described as focusing on civilian rehabilitation in 1920?

• A. National Rehabilitation Act of 1920
• B. Public Welfare Act of 1920
• C. Civilian Rehabilitation Act of 1920 for rehab for civilians with physical disabilities
• D. Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1920

Answer: (C)

This question tests recognition of the federal effort in 1920 to help people with disabilities re-enter work, specifically focusing on civilians rather than veterans or general welfare.

In 1920 Congress created a program aimed at vocational rehabilitation for civilians with physical disabilities, providing federal support to help them obtain training, counseling, and placement for suitable employment. This initiative laid the groundwork for civilian rehabilitation services and is commonly associated with the Civilian Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1920 (often tied to the Smith-Fess Act). The key point is that it targeted civilians with disabilities and focused on helping them become employable and independent.

The option naming this civilian-focused rehabilitation program matches the historical purpose and scope, making it the best choice. Other options either refer to different, non-existent acts or describe broader or different aims that don’t specifically center on civilian rehabilitation.
