Historique
The Rehabilitation Branch in the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services was created in 1961 with the passing of the Vocational Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons Act.
Between 1961 and 1971, the branch reported directly to the Deputy Minister. In 1971 administration of the branch was transferred to the newly created Social Development Services Division. In the following year it became part of the Assistance and Rehabilitation Services Division only to be moved to the Social Services Division in 1973. The Assistant Deputy Minister, Social Resources administered the branch from 1977 until 1978 when Adult Social Services assumed responsibility. The branch was alternatively known by the following names: the Rehabilitation Services Branch (1961-1967), the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Branch (1967-1973), and the Rehabilitation Bureau (1973- 1975).
The Rehabilitation Branch disappeared in 1979 and its functions were assumed directly by the Adult Services Division.

Fonctions et activités
The Rehabilitation Branch administered the vocational rehabilitation program under the Vocational Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons Act. This program aimed at restoring or improving the working ability of mentally or physically challenged persons in Ontario. Counsellors in the branch assisted handicapped individuals in determining the kind of work they were able to do, provided training (as well as transportation to and from this training), and located jobs matching the person's abilities. In addition, the branch provided medical restoration services such as physiotherapy, speech therapy, and medically prescribed appliances (i.e. prosthetics) to facilitate a person's rehabilitation. Lastly, the Rehabilitation Branch co-ordinated, encouraged, and assisted rehabilitation facilities operated by private agencies.
