“…Dutta et al (2008) also examined the effects of VR services on VR consumers with primary disabilities that were categorized as physical or mental and found that the likelihood of employment at closure for VR consumers with sensory impairments, physical impairments, and mental impairments, who received job placement services, increased by 1.66 times, 2.23 times, and 2.12 times, res pe ctively, compared with those who did not receive job placement services. Job placement assistance was also found to signi ficantly increase the likelihood of employment for male VR consumers with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) by approximately 2 times (Schaller, Yang, & Trainor, 2006). Several studies on concerns and barriers to employment among unemployed individuals with HIV/AIDS have reported that unemployed individuals living with HIV/AIDS often experience difficulties in finding a job (Brooks & Klosinski, 1999;Hergenrather, Rhodes, & Clark, 2004;Hergenrather et al, 2005Hergenrather et al, , 2006Timmons & Fesko, 2004).…”

In this study, the authors investigated the effects of demographic, medical, and vocational rehabilitation service variables on employment outcomes of persons living with HIV/AIDS. Binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine predictors of employment outcomes using two groups drawn from Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA-911) data. Only service variables were found to be significantly related to employment outcomes in both groups. Job placement assistance and on-the-job supports were found to be significant predictors of a successful employment outcome at closure. Whereas higher case service expenditures increased the likelihood of achieving employment at closure, longer length of time in rehabilitation decreased the likelihood of employment at closure.

“…Among students with disabilities at post-secondary institutions, students with LD and ADHD are the largest subgroup of this population (Gregg, 2009). These adult disability populations are also commonly served through vocational rehabilitation (Dowdy et al, 1992;Gregg, 2009;Schaller et al, 2006). Rehabilitation strategies for these populations include psychoeducation, behavioral training, psychotherapy, medication, social skills training, remediation methods, classroom management and support, parent training, support groups, lifestyle changes, and vocational and career guidance (Skinner, 2003;Vyas, 2021).…”

Purpose/Objective: Personal disability identity (PDI) refers to disability self-concept and includes various attitudes toward disability. In this study, we examined whether the PDI attitudes of disability self-worth and personal meaning were predictors of psychosocial functioning. Method/Design: Using hierarchical regression to control for sociodemographic and disability characteristics, we examined the unique contributions of these two PDI attitudes to life satisfaction, anxiety/depression, and general self-efficacy in a sample of 1,203 employed U.S. adults with LD and/or ADHD. Results: PDI attitudes (disability self-worth and personal meaning) explained significant additional variance on both outcomes, after accounting for control variables. Results indicated that (a) self-worth (β = −.25, p , .001) and personal meaning (β = −.24, p , .001) were negatively associated with anxiety/depression, (b) self-worth was positively associated with general selfefficacy (β = .31, p , .001), and (c) personal meaning was positively associated with life satisfaction (β = .30, p , .001). Conclusions/Implications: Present findings suggest that disability identity is worthy of attention in research on neurodevelopmental disabilities. Impact and ImplicationsDisability self-worth and personal meaning scores were found to predict life satisfaction, anxiety/ depression, and general self-efficacy in adults with LD and/or ADHD, indicating that PDI measurement and scholarship are relevant to invisible, neurodevelopmental disabilities. Practitioners and researchers who work with these populations should consider the disability-related feelings and cognitions of those they serve.

Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder has focused primarily on Caucasian boys and men and resulted in limited insight about the experiences of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder among women from an ethnically diverse background. This descriptive qualitative study explored the experience of 16 women diagnosed with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder who were also engaged in their academic pursuits. Three themes emerged: (i) internalized chaos, (ii) cultivation of self-understanding, and (iii) commitment to building capacity. Comorbid psychological disorders (e.g., major depression and anxiety) among women with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder were associated with increased impairment. Broader criteria that demonstrate equitable assessment and recognition of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder symptoms for both genders are requisite to promote effective interventions and recovery.
