Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between African American consumers with a primary mental health (emotional and behavioral) disability and vocational rehabilitation outcomes through the vocational rehabilitation (VR) system in the United States. The participants in this study were all consumers who sought public VR services nationally for the fiscal year 2002 (October 1, 2001 to September 30, 2002). The sampling frame in the investigation consisted of 1,600 VR consumers. The results from the MANCOVA indicated there was a significant relationship between race (African Americans and Hispanics), age, and total days spent receiving services, as well as age and total case expenditures. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine if any differences existed in the type of closure, reasons for closure, and work statuses at closure based on race, age, gender, and educational level at application. The regression models indicated that consumers' race and educational level at application affect type of closure. Consumers' age, sex, and race influence reason for closure. Also, African American consumers were three times more likely to be unemployed or employed without supports at closure. Hispanic Americans were five times more likely to be unemployed at closure, nine times more likely to be employed without supports at closure, and 12 times more likely to be self-employed at closure. Logistic regression was used to ascertain whether race, age, sex, and educational level at application influenced successful closures (Status 26). The results from the regression model revealed race had a significant effect on closure type (successful or unsuccessful). European Americans are more likely to have their cases closed successfully when compared to other racial/ethnic groups. The chi-square test indicated the six most beneficial services African Americans received when their cases were successfully closed (Status 26). These services were college/university training, business/vocational training, substantial counseling, job finding services, transportation and maintenance.

Book excerpt: This first-of-its-kind textbook surveys rehabilitation and vocational programs aiding persons with disabilities in remote and developing areas in the U.S. and abroad. Contributors discuss longstanding challenges to these communities, most notably economic and environmental obstacles and ongoing barriers to service delivery, as well as their resilience and strengths. Intersections of health, social, structural, and access disparities are shown affecting rural disabled populations such as women, racial and sexual minorities, youth, and elders. In terms of responses, a comprehensive array of healthcare and health policy solutions and recommendations is critiqued with regard to health, employment, and service effectiveness outcomes. Included among the topics: Healthcare initiatives, strategies, and challenges for people with disabilities in rural, frontier, and territory settings. Challenges faced by veterans residing in rural communities. The Asia and Pacific region: rural-urban impact on disability. Challenges after natural disaster for rural residents with disabilities. Meeting the needs of rural adults with mental illness and dual diagnoses. Capacity building in rural communities through community-based collaborative partnerships. Disability and Vocational Rehabilitation in Rural Settings makes a worthy textbook for graduate students and upper-level undergraduates in the fields of social work, community and environmental psychology, public health, sociology, education, and geography. Its professional audience also includes vocational rehabilitation counselors serving these dynamic populations.

Download or read book Differences in the Vocational Rehabilitation Process Between African Americans and European Americans with Specific Learning Disabilities on Acceptance Services and Reasons for Closure written by Precious Denise Elmore Williams and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between consumer race and vocational rehabilitation acceptance, services, and reason for closure through the state/federal vocational rehabilitation system for in individuals with specific learning disabilities. The consumers who participated in the study were individuals who applied for services during the 2006 fiscal year with specific learning disabilities (SLD). The study included two different stratified samples of 400 African Americans with SLD and 400 European Americans with SLD. Several variables were held constant in this study. These variables included: (a) gender, (b) age at application, (c) level of education at application, (d) primary source of support at application, participation in special education (as evidenced by an individualized education program), and (e) presence of a significant disability. Related to acceptance, results from the logistic regression indicated that the presence of a significant disability was positively correlated with acceptance for services in both samples. That is individuals with a significant disability were more likely to be accepted for services than were individuals without a significant disability. There were no statistically significant differences found between African Americans with SLD and European Americans with SLD in Sample A. Conversely, statistically significant differences were found in Sample B. In Sample B African Americans with SLD were less likely than European Americans with SLD to be accepted for services. In addition, under the category of educational level at application, individuals with a special education certificate of completion/diploma in attendance were less likely to be accepted for services than other educational categories. Related to services, in Sample A, African Americans with SLD were less likely to receive college training than European Americans with SLD. In Sample B, African Americans with SLD were more likely to receive job readiness and transportation services. On-the-job training was provided more frequently for European Americans with SLD than African Americans with SLD. Related to reasons for closure, the chi-square was not significant in Sample A. However in Sample B statistically significant findings were revealed. African Americans with SLD were found more likely to be closed as 'unable to locate or contact' and 'failure to cooperate'. In addition, Sample African Americans with SLD were more likely to be closed 'other reasons'. By contrast, European Americans with SLD were found to be closed due to either refusal of services or further services and to achieve an employment outcome. Limitations of the study and implications for future research and practice were also discussed.
