Description
Despite the indications of national and state policies that promote individual employment for people with disabilities, the majority of adults with developmental disabilities in the USA (76%) are served by facility-based services such as sheltered workshops. This book discusses factors that contribute to the gap between policy and prac-tice in the area of disability day services. The discussion is based on results from a survey involving 210 adults with intellectual disabilities who atten-deded 19 workshops, their respective families (N = 185), and staff members of the workshops (N = 224). The research questions focused on: (a) respon-dents' preferences between workshops and individual employment; (b) respon-dents' perceptions about the consumers' ability to perform in individual employment; (c) considerations influencing respondents' choices between work-shops and individual employment, and (d) the role of professionals encour-aging consumers and their families in their choices about employment.
