Providing Effective Vocational Rehabilitation Services for Individuals with Disabilities with Criminal Backgrounds: A Justice-Involved Toolkit
Abstract
There is disproportionate representation of individuals with disabilities involved in the criminal justice system. Individuals with disabilities that have experienced incarceration present unique needs to navigating the vocational rehabilitation process. Through the Vocational Rehabilitation Technical Assistance Center for Quality Employment (VRTAC-QE), a learning community was formed to create a toolkit addressing these needs. Using a person-centered lens, this toolkit provides practical tips, tools, and resources for addressing effective services of justice-impacted individuals with disabilities.
