Abstract
For years rehabilitation researchers have been investigating variables related to the employment outcomes of people with disabilities. The result has been hundreds of studies with varying results. The purpose of this study was to review and compile the results of nearly a quarter century of rehabilitation research examining the employment outcomes of people with disabilities. One hundred and eighteen published studies were selected that investigated nearly 200 independent variables in relation to employment outcomes of persons with disabilities. Studies were classified into eight non-exclusive categories of independent variable groupings, that were labeled (1) Client (consumer); (2) Counselor; (3) Medical/functional; (4) Work Environment; (5) Measures; (6) Program Interventions; (7) Services; and, (8) Financial. A review and compilation of these results, in addition to a discussion of implications, recommendations, and limitations is provided within the context of the need for evidenced-based practice in rehabilitation counseling and knowledge translation approaches in rehabilitation research.
