The Value of Employment for People with Disabilities Around the World

Receiving education and training that lead to a meaningful job, having a career, and being a valued contributor to a professional environment is taken for granted by many. Historically, however, people with disabilities have had limited opportunities to engage in employment due to discrimination, ableism, and low expectations despite the fact that employment is a basic human and civil right. This book is intended to build awareness and inspire action on the part of chief executive officers, human resource managers, and supervisory personnel to facilitate employment opportunities for people with disabilities. It will be of interest to policy makers and other professionals who support people with disabilities as part of their responsibilities in labor and social service ministries, vocational rehabilitation service providers, and employment service providers. The book is written by authors with backgrounds in a variety of disciplines related to the employment of people with disabilities across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.

By taking the time and making the effort, you can create your own personal scripture as a product of your mind, heart, and soul. And from there, your trajectory is squarely in your hands. Slow down, take time to reflect, and find the greatest version of you with the insights and wisdom in this book.

Administrators who foster inclusive practices, offer professional development, and nurture positive school cultures can enhance student success. In addition, when used effectively, ...

The Development, Conceptualisation and Implementation of Quality in Disability Support Services

This book traces some of these changes, in particular related to living situation and support available, in a range of different countries and considers the factors that have influenced these changes. This book considers other aspects of what is needed to bring about real change in the lives of all people with disabilities.
