Who are we?
The Washington Chapter of the International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals provides a community for rehabilitation professionals in their quest for education and professional growth, thereby promoting effective, interdisciplinary services for persons with disabilities.
WA-IARP serves a diverse membership practicing in the fields of vocational rehabilitation, disability management consulting, case management, workers’ compensation, forensics and expert testimony and life care planning.
WA-IARP supports professional growth of its 200 members by providing an ethics code, professional competence standards, continuing education programs, networking opportunities and group-discounted packages of professional benefits.
WA-IARP fosters rehabilitation discussion and innovation through conferences, online education and a quarterly Newsletter.
WA-IARP strives to shape public policy favorable to private-sector rehabilitation by working closely with other professional associations, government and industry.
Our Mission and Goals
IARP is dedicated to: promoting effective multidisciplinary rehabilitation, disability management, and return-to-work services on behalf of persons with disabilities and the economically disadvantaged; enhancing the competency of service providers; supporting innovation in related business development and management; and becoming the pre-eminent source for shaping public policy that affects rehabilitation.

- Encourage member networking with the goal of understanding issues and trends affecting the profession and competency of all members.
