abstract: 'People with disabilities are generally not considered as able
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participants in the workforce (paid or volunteer work) and therefore,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
they often experience exclusion from participating in mainstream
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment opportunities. People with disabilities experience various
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
barriers to employment, such as discrimination in the workplace, stigma,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
prejudice and stereotypes. However, some people with disabilities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participate in the workforce and make valuable contributions towards
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic development, social capital and wider society. This literature
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
review summarises published research findings about the challenges that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
people with disabilities experience in pursuing employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunities, including volunteering and paid positions; and in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
undertaking these roles. Furthermore, it explores possible interventions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to improve employment outcomes that are effective from the perspectives
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of people with disabilities. Findings indicate that effective practice
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
takes an inclusive approach and allows clients to take ownership of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
solutions in relation to addressing the challenges they experience in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the employment sector. For this reason, two different community
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development projects, which particularly focused on employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
challenges for people with disabilities, as well as outlining strategies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and solutions that promote client ownership were reviewed. Additionally,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment support techniques and strategies, as well as human rights''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
principles on work and employment for people with disabilities will be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
debated. Finally, implications for research and practice for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rehabilitation counselling profession and the disability employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
services sector are discussed.'
