“…Due to the transition to distance education, teachers and academicians could not determine the method they need to adopt, and limited one-on-one interaction with the students complicated education during pandemic (Tanhan, 2020). This process has been more difficult for people with socioeconomic disprivileges (Tanhan, 2020; because some researchers found that even during normal times people with disprivileges are not served well (Emir Öksüz & Brubaker, 2020;Tanhan & Francisco, 2019). On the one hand, online education (distance education, open education) is convenient for the students and academics (Allen et al, 2002;Tanhan, 2020), while leading to certain difficulties and disadvantages at the same time (Tanhan, 2020).…”

“…The researchers stressed how lack of healthy social interactions may lead to some serios biological, psychological, social, spiritual and economic issues from a micro level to macro level. Researchers also highlighted individuals and especially communities with disprivileges and called for key people and institutions to act accordingly (Emir Öksüz, 2020;Tanhan, 2020;Tanhan & Strack, 2020).…”

There are three main research goals in this study including (a) understanding the most important facilitators (support, strength) and complicators (barrier, concern, issues, problems) for online or distance education during COVID-19 from the unique perspective of college students, academicians, and teachers through Online Photovoice (OPV); (b) advocating with the volunteer participants and partners as allies to share the results with the key people and institutions through online avenues to enhance facilitators and address complicators; and finally, (c) investigating participants’ attribution of facilitators and complicators based on Ecological Systems Theory (EST) levels. The researchers utilized the adapted Turkish version of OPV to collect and used Online Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (OIPA) to analyze the data. Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) grounded in EST constructed the theoretical framework for the research. In total, 115 participants completed and consented for the study. Sixteen main facilitator-related themes emerged, and the five most expressed were having technology (n = 31, 35%), internet (n = 28, 32%), communication (n =18, 20%), emotions (n = 17, 19%), and economic resources (n = 16, %18). Thirteen main complicators-related themes emerged, and the five most reported barriers were lacks of technological resources (n = 41, 47%), internet (n = 40, 46%), appropriate learning environments, learning opportunities (n = 32, 36%) appropriate resources for online or distance education (n = 18, 20%), and interaction (n = 14, 16%). Participants attributed the facilitator and complicators to EST levels respectively as follows: individual/intrapsychic factors (84%; 69%), microsystem (45%; 59%), exosystem (36%; 43%), and macrosystem (34%; 44%). The researchers provided practical recommendations. The researchers obtained an institutional review board approval for this study.

“…In addition, the Accreditation Commission of the Turkish Psychological Counseling and Guidance Association can play a role in developing quality standards in counselor education. Publishing guidelines on the inclusion of disability in counselor education on their website, organizing training sessions at their national and regional conferences, and recognizing successful educators and their work can help motivate and prepare counselor educators as well as improve the content of their training (Emir‐Öksüz & Brubaker, 2020).…”

“…Suppose counselor education programs are critical to the transformation of the profession. Therefore, more case study research is needed to uncover best practices for implementing fully inclusive learning environments beyond accessibility (Emir-Öksüz & Brubaker, 2020). Furthermore, the disputing of disability-related myths needs to form part of all curricula and counseling programs (Setume, 2016).…”

People with disabilities may face various barriers to employment. I aimed to explore the career counseling experiences of a sample of people with physical disabilities. The participants were 95 individuals with a disability aged 19–48 years. One emerging theme, barriers and aids, was related to family, teachers, and school counselors. Participants’ choices seemed to be affected by the negative attitudes of their peers with a disability. A second theme, career counseling as well as its availability, content, and quality, comprises subthemes such as collaboration between stakeholders in processes related to people with disabilities, qualifications of career counselors, and content of the services provided.

“…It was argued that functional independence does not necessarily lead to a better quality of life, and that the barriers facing individuals with IDD are not their lack of ability, but rather society's insensitivity toward them (Oliver, 1996). In accordance with these ideas, the social model has emerged, stating that disability is a result of societal barriers and exclusion, rather than an inherent personal impairment (Emir Öksüz & Brubaker, 2020). Accordingly, disability is regarded as a context‐dependent and socially constructed phenomenon caused by stigma, prejudice, discrimination, and insufficient environmental accommodations (Andrews, 2017; Brants et al, 2016).…”

The study investigated the influence of the humanistic orientation on the perspectives of service providers working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and the self‐evaluation of service users. The humanistic orientation, which emerged in the 1990s, emphasizes the rights of people with IDD to lead a meaningful life based on their personal needs and desires. However, challenges persist as some service providers prioritize the acquisition of normative life skills over fostering autonomy. The study was based on quantitative methodology and included 61 service providers and 95 of their service users. The study's findings indicate that the humanistic orientation was endorsed by nearly one half of the service providers compared with one third who endorsed a medical orientation. Those endorsing a humanistic orientation also reported that their service users had higher levels of efficacy than those with a medical perception of IDD. Positive correlations were found regarding the assessments made by service providers and their service users on self‐efficacy. Findings suggest that a humanistic orientation encourages optimism among service providers and a positive dyadic interaction between providers and users. It is suggested that the humanistic orientation be applied as a guiding principle underlying the daily support provided to adults with IDD.
