National Disability Employment Awareness Month
October 2003
The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR)
in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services of the
U.S. Department of Education supports a variety of projects in its
Employment Outcomes research area. Major contributors in this area are
NIDRR's Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers (RRTC). Following
are some recent findings and activities from two RRTCs with a focus on
employment outcomes.
* Center on State Systems and Employment (RRTC)
* RRTC on Workforce Investment and Employment Policy for Persons
with Disabilities
This is the third of four messages brought to you by NIDRR's National
Center for the Dissemination of Disability Research as a part of

Center on State Systems and Employment (RRTC)
University of Massachusetts Boston
< <URL Redacted>>
The mission of the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on State
Systems and Employment is to improve the employment outcomes of people
with disabilities through the promotion of responsive, effective, and
efficient state service delivery systems. Results from Center projects
include:
* The National Survey of State Systems and Employment Outcomes is a
cross-sectional survey documenting existing structures and functions of
seven employment related state services (disability-specific and
generic).

Outcomes. In Center on State Systems and Employment Rehabilitation
Research and Training Center, Improving Employment Outcomes:
Collaboration across the disability and workforce development systems.

* A study on guided and self-directed approaches describes the
experiences of individual job seekers as they negotiated the service
system, and discusses the obstacles faced during the employment process
and personal strategies used to overcome these barriers.

* Case study methodology was used in a study that examined
collaborative efforts in three states (Kentucky, Minnesota, and Maine)
as they worked to implement WIA and identified promising practices that
enable job seekers with disabilities better access to the workforce
system.

Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Workforce Investment and
Employment Policy for Persons with Disabilities
Law, Health Policy & Disability Center (LHPDC)
University of Iowa College of Law
< http://disability.law.uiowa.edu/lhpdc/rrtc/ >
The mission of the RRTC is to expand knowledge that improves and
modifies disability and generic policy that impacts positively the
employment status and economic independence of Americans with
disabilities.
* On June 9th, 2003, Merrill Lynch and the RRTC on Workforce
Investment and Employment Policy for Persons with Disabilities
co-sponsored the Corporate Culture and Disability Symposium to increase
dialogue among a blue ribbon panel representing corporations, persons
with disabilities, and researchers. As follow-up to the meeting,
Professor Peter Blanck and Dr. Helen Schartz will be guest editors of a
special issue of Behavioral Science & the Law, a top peer-reviewed
interdisciplinary journal, to be published during the fall of 2004.
Archives of the proceedings include sessions from the meeting, and are
available at:

mp_archive.html>
* On March 19, 2003, the LHPDC sponsored a one-day Open Dialogue
in Washington D.C. on what's working for state and local partnerships
serving people with disabilities on welfare. The Open Dialogue was
co-sponsored by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities; the
Office of Disability, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and
the Office of Special Education Rehabilitative Services, U.S. Department
of Education. Open Dialogue was held in response to another LHPDC
project to serve people with disabilities on welfare, the Reach Up Pilot
Project begun in Vermont in 2001. For more information, contact James
Schmeling, Associate Director of the RRTC:
