Abstract Traditionally, people with disabilities have been excluded from the workplace despite they want to work, and their disabilities do not prevent them from doing so. They still suffer from stigmatization and this inequitable treatment, together with the lack of societal support, put their career development at risk. Through a bibliometric analysis, the study reviews more than 1.900 articles published in the last 50 years. It provides an overview of the topics analysed in relation to employment and disability. Thus, this study uncovers the areas that are receiving more attention based on the articles published in the last years. The results highlight that the topic remains relegated to journal directly connected with disabilities, which indicates a little acknowledgment of people with disabilities and their labour development. The evolution of studies has been congruent so that three differentiated periods have been identified, from merely legislation to social recognition.

People With Disability

People with disabilities in any society are at risk of social exclusion and discrimination. Nowadays, in recent decades, the treatment of people with disabilities has shifted towards giving people with special needs the opportunity to manage their own lives. The emphasis is on building a society that incorporates and is capable of meeting the needs of all people, including people with disabilities. Career development is a continuous process in which an individual uses information about himself, collects it and uses it to master the vast of professions and apply it to himself. This report discusses people with disabilities and their opportunities to integrate into the Latvian labor market.

New Challenges

Changes in the world of work present new challenges for people with disability. Using relevant literature, we review some changes in the world of work, provide an overview of an ecological model of vocational behaviour, identify possible challenges for people with disabilities, and provide suggestions for career counsellors. Work is different today from what it was just ten years ago, and these differences affect people with disabilities. In this manuscript, we will examine some of the changes and their implications through the following topics: (a) an ecological model of vocational behaviour; (b) changes in the world of work; (c) challenges for people with disabilities; (d) implications for career counsellors.

Mind Set

Self-determination in career development of people with disabilities has been a widely studied topic among researchers. However, previous research shows that this concept has been narrowly defined as a skill set that individuals can acquire. This article maintains that there is a gap in and a need for understanding and developing the self-determination of people with disabilities as a mind-set in their career development. By applying constructive-developmental theory to career construction theory, the author proposes a new conceptual model of the career development of people with disabilities and provides narrative as a method for practicing it.

Language Pathology

In countries other than the United States, the study and practice of speech-language pathology is little known or nonexistent. Recognition of professionals in the field is minimal. Speech-language pathologists in countries where speech-language pathology is a widely recognized and respected profession often seek to share their expertise in places where little support is available for individuals with communication disorders. The Peace Corps offers a unique, long-term volunteer opportunity to people with a variety of backgrounds, including speech-language pathologists. Though Peace Corps programs do not specifically focus on speech-language pathology, many are easily adapted to the profession because they support populations of people with disabilities. This article describes how the needs of local children with communication disorders are readily addressed by a Special Education Peace Corps volunteer.
