ABSTRACT: There are many possible directions that can be
taken to open equal opportunity to all who want work,
especially for the handicapped. Since more
service-producing
industries are expected to grow in the future than goods
producing industries, and accurate job forecasting is good
but must be accompanied by adequate education and training,
the growth of human services and meaningful careers must be
encouraged. With plans being made to involve the
handicapped
in the world of work, additional planning must be made now
for the desired changes in the occupational distribution of
the handicapped. Eliminating cultural stereotypes,
disseminating career information, and earlier training and
education are ways to eliminate existing inequalities.
Education for careers requires programmatic cohesion and
preparation at all educational levels with cooperation
among
rehabilitation counselors, special educators, career
educators, and vocational educators. Revisions in the
transportation system, redesign of jobs, buildings, etc.,
Federal and State laws, fringe benefits, and group health
insurance are areas that must be examined for the
disincentives they contain for work. Affirmative action
means active day to day cooperation between handicapped
employees, employers, and the government. (TA)
