Product Description:

At the heart of getting a job and changing jobs are questions about choice. What employment choices can be made? How are possibilities pursued and understood? Who decides? How are such decisions made? Can employer requirements and expectations be negotiated? The answers to these questions challenge the traditional basis of employment services for persons with disabilities. In order to answer them in a manner most likely to favor the individual, it is necessary to embrace the value of person control and choice as one of the most defining aspects of employment. This shift in control has profound implications on employment services for people with disabilities.
