Access to Employment and Economic Independence in Cerebral Palsy - 05/08/11
Résumé |
The employment statistics for people with disabilities are dismal and particularly low for those with cerebral palsy. As practitioners working with young people who have moderate to severe cognitive and physical challenges, including those with cerebral palsy, the authors assert that there are best practices that make a difference. There are states and programs showing successful outcomes. Those who create partnerships among education, businesses, and rehabilitation agencies are seeing direct positive results in employment outcomes for people with disabilities, as well as cultural and perceptional changes in businesses and people who have hiring capability. This article reviews the relevant literature; conclusions are drawn and recommendations made to improve the employment outcomes for youth with cerebral palsy in their transition to adult life.
