How Employment Goals Impact Job Outcomes for People with Disabilities
About this episode
Employment plays a vital role in a person’s community participation, social connection, and quality of life. This is also true for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities – or ‘IDD’. Despite various federal policies promoting workplace inclusion, research consistently shows that people with IDD face significant challenges in securing meaningful employment. This has led researchers to examine what factors might help improve employment outcomes. Recent research by Lindsay DuBois and her colleagues at the Human Services Research Institute offers new insights into this question.
