Description
This book is a clarion call for national, state, and local transformational change. The goal is to substantially increase the employment participation rates of working-age youth and adults with disabilities so they can successfully contribute their unique skills and talents. The book advances the case that disability policymakers, organizational leaders, educators, people with disabilities, family members, disability service professionals, business leaders, and community members must work together to reimagine how future supports will be delivered. The chapter content identifies innovative, researched practices known to increase competitive employment and social inclusion outcomes of people with complex disabilities in their labor force and communities. The Death of Rehabilitation is not about an end to services. It is about a rebirth. It is about adopting, decentralizing, and delivering services in new ways, where they are needed, and in the right measure, so people once considered 'unemployable' can live their best lives.
