Recent limitations identified in the job coach model of supported employment have stimulated interest in the use of natural workplace supports as a means of facilitating competitive employment opportunities for individuals with severe disabilities. The authors describe one approach to natural workplace supports called the internal company support approach to supported employment, using existing employer-sponsored training programs in the workplace. Examples of employer-sponsored training activities are provided, as well as implementation suggestions based on the authors' experience.

Administrative Structures

Increased emphasis is being placed on providing integrated and normalizing work experiences for people with severe disabilities through supported employment. As more individuals are offered training in nonsheltered situations, it is important to consider the nature of the typical environments they will be moving into and the elements of work that make it a meaningful and satisfying experience for typical workers. The literature on supported employment has been primarily concerned with outcome studies of demonstration projects, the efficacy of training strategies, and the development of administrative structures and funding systems. In contrast, studies of work for nondisabled individuals have focused on job satisfaction and what the experience means to the worker, and for the most part have ignored those who have disabilities. This review examines supported employment in light of the literature on the experience of work by nondisabled people, with particular reference to the meaning of work in the lives of persons with disabilities. There is discussion of worker satisfaction, the meaning of pay, the effect of the task itself, and the role of the culture of the workplace on the behavior of the workers. Implications for the establishment of supported employment opportunities in typical businesses are presented.

The Right

This chapter analyses the right to work. It examines how the CRPD has come to provide for the participation of disabled people in the ‘open labour market’ and examines the various barriers that limit such participation. It also considers alternative forms of employment, including sheltered and supported employment, as well as how they relate to the new emphasis brought on the right to work by the CRPD. It subsequently focuses on the extent to which the Convention calls into question those working arrangements that ignore the complexity of human diversity. It further appraises the provision of equal employment opportunities for disabled people warning against certain limits in the consideration of employment as nothing but gainful employment in international human rights law.
