Discuss the factors that have led to expanded employment opportunities for individuals with physical disabilities

What will be an ideal response?


The outlook for employment of students with physical or multiple and severe disabilities has been improved dramatically by legislation and research demonstration projects. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that reasonable accommodations be made to create equal employment opportunities for people with disabilities. More accessible transportation and buildings, increased skill in using technology to allow people to accomplish tasks at work, and greater commitment to preparing people with disabilities for work are resulting in more personal independence, economic self-sufficiency, and social acceptance. Transition planning is now required in the IEP and transition programs are constantly growing and improving in providing knowledge of and experience with careers and work behaviors. Programslike supported competitive employment are especially useful. New technologies offer great promise for enabling people with physical disabilities to achieve independence, acquire educations and training for employment, and find employment.
