Bell v. Office of Vocational Rehabilitation

Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania

Decided November 20, 1995Published

1Opinion of the Court

KELTON, Senior Judge.

Carolyn Bell (Bell) petitions for review of the January 31, 1995 order of the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR), closing Bell’s case. We affirm.

Bell frames the issue on appeal as whether the OVR failed to make reasonable adjustments in its vocational evaluation program to accommodate Bell’s environmental allergies, as required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794. More accurately, the issue before us is whether substantial evidence supports the OVR’s *504finding that Bell refused to participate in the vocational evaluation.1
