残疾人通常不被视为劳动力（有偿或志愿工作）的有能力参与者，因此，他们往往被排除在主流就业机会之外。残疾人在就业方面遇到各种障碍，例如工作场所的歧视、耻辱、偏见和刻板印象。然而，一些残疾人加入了劳动力队伍，并为经济发展、社会资本和更广泛的社会做出了宝贵的贡献。这篇文献综述总结了已发表的关于残疾人在寻求就业机会（包括志愿服务和有偿职位）以及承担这些角色时所面临的挑战的研究结果。此外，它还探讨了从残疾人的角度来看有效改善就业结果的可能干预措施。调查结果表明，有效的做法采取了包容性的方法，并允许客户在解决他们在就业部门遇到的挑战方面拥有解决方案。为此，审查了两个不同的社区发展项目，这些项目特别侧重于残疾人的就业挑战，并概述了促进客户所有权的战略和解决方案。此外，还将讨论就业支助技术和战略，以及残疾人工作和就业的人权原则，最后讨论康复咨询专业和残疾人就业服务部门的研究和实践的意义。
People with disabilities are generally not considered as able participants in the workforce (paid or volunteer work) and therefore, they often experience exclusion from participating in mainstream employment opportunities. People with disabilities experience various barriers to employment, such as discrimination in the workplace, stigma, prejudice and stereotypes. However, some people with disabilities participate in the workforce and make valuable contributions towards economic development, social capital and wider society. This literature review summarises published research findings about the challenges that people with disabilities experience in pursuing employment opportunities, including volunteering and paid positions; and in undertaking these roles. Furthermore, it explores possible interventions to improve employment outcomes that are effective from the perspectives of people with disabilities. Findings indicate that effective practice takes an inclusive approach and allows clients to take ownership of solutions in relation to addressing the challenges they experience in the employment sector. For this reason, two different community development projects, which particularly focused on employment challenges for people with disabilities, as well as outlining strategies and solutions that promote client ownership were reviewed. Additionally, employment support techniques and strategies, as well as human rights’ principles on work and employment for people with disabilities will be debated. Finally, implications for research and practice for the rehabilitation counselling profession and the disability employment services sector are discussed.
