abstract: 'Supported employment has grown rapidly within the past decade, fueled by
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the consumer empowerment and inclusion movements. The program has
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
resulted in thousands of people with severe disabilities entering the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
labor force for the first time. Many consumers have expanded their
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
vocational expectations, and employers have developed a new appreciation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
of the potential contribution individuals with disabilities can make to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the work force. Unfortunately, despite these dramatic gains, the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
supported employment movement appears to have lost much of its early
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
momentum and is increasingly at a crossroads. This article addresses
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
major challenges that consumers and professionals alike must face.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Conversion of day programs to integrated work options, expansion of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
program capacity, the need to insure consumer choice and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
self-determination, and the achievement of meaningful employment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
outcomes in a highly competitive economy are among the challenges that
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
those dedicated to the supported employment movement must solve in the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
years ahead. Specific recommendations are offered to meet each
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
challenge. Ultimately, the way to expand and reenergize the supported
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
employment initiative will be to educate and empower more consumers and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
families.'
