Career Development, Employment and Disability in Rehabilitation: From Theory to Practice

This text provides, from a rehabilitation perspective, comprehensive coverage of the dominant theories and techniques related to the occupational development, vocational behaviour, and the organisational factors that impact the career development and employment of individuals with disabilities. It is designed for the CORE-mandated required course on employment and career development for the Master’s Degree in rehabilitation counselling and for Licensed Professional Counselor certification. As the only book in rehabilitation and counselling that broadly addresses career development and employment of individuals with disabilities, it is a major contribution to the literature.

Topics covered include major constructs in career development and employment of disabled individuals, theoretical foundations, occupational assessment, information and evaluation, intervention strategies, and populations and settings. To facilitate learning and promote application of theories and techniques, each chapter includes chapter objectives, discussion and review questions, and case studies. An instructor’s manual is also included.
