Multicultural Challenges in Employment of People with Disabilities

Abstract

This special issue focuses on multicultural challenges in employment of people with disabilities. In this issue, we have assembled a cross-section of some of the important, timely and emerging research discussions that are underway today related to employment of individuals with disabilities from culturally diverse backgrounds. In a general sense, employment is an avenue to financial self-sufficiency and a respectable quality of life for all Americans. As change agents in our field, we charge each of you to use the take away lessons from the manuscripts in this special issue and advocate that they begin to influence everyday vocational rehabilitation practice in the spirit of knowledge translation. We hope that you will find benefit from this issue of the Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
