The stigma cannot be fully removed until the negativity is removed. Sir Philip Craven, head of the International Paralympic Committee, agrees with this position regarding the inherent negativity of the term (Gibson, 2012)
The results of the survey questionnaires and interviews were more or less in accordance with the statistics or facts that have been stated in the literature review section of the paper. Here, we shall particularly be discussing the results with respect to the economic incentives being given to the people with disabilities according to the state agencies and what is actually being implemented (Ashworth et
Other factors that have been identified by the research and that are also present in the literature review that hinder the employment of the physically challenged people apart from the ineffective work incentives include safety and legal issues, lack of strategies for recruitment, financial concerns and incompatible government programs that discourage individuals with disabilities from seeking for employment because of fear of losing Social Security or SSI benefits. Community and employer attitudes, inadequate jobs in the local community and lack of employment and job placement supports are other factors that impede hiring of individuals with disabilities (Baker and Tippin, 2003)
Therefore, research should do to find out why that is the case. The possible reasons and causes should be figured out and addressed individually so that these obstacles can be overcome (Berkowitz & Hill, 1986) Conclusion The American Disabilities Act that was mentioned in the beginning of the chapter has now created a mixed impact on the employment of individuals who have some sort of disability
Moreover, if there are some employers that are aware of these incentives they do not have adequate information about it. It has been stated in the review of literature and figured out through the research that most of the employers are not aware of the work incentives programs that are being provided by the federal government all over the country (Berthoud, 1998)
In his speech, Harkin made use of sign language so the deaf viewing the speech could figure out what he was saying. This law is basically a wide spread civil rights law that goes on to prohibit discrimination based on disability (Blanck, 2000) It goes along with other discrimination laws that made it illegal for people to discriminate based on religion, sex or race
In this part of the paper we shall be discussing the results that were obtained with respect to the research questions that were laid down in the study design section of the paper. The responses of respondents to each question and therefore the findings obtained as a part of the research through these questions shall be brought into limelight one after another (Bryman, 2012)
A very important thing in this framework is the process of self-actualization and learning. This hierarchy is therefore is used in different organizational settings to enhance both employee and employer motivation (Frost, 1985) Economic incentives for the employers on hiring persons with disabilities are quite significant because every company needs to have diversity in the workforce (Dimatso & Post, 2004) People with disabilities are also humans just like everyone else; therefore attention needs to be given to their needs as well
Both of these things are different therefore studies need to be done to view the differences between the two. Some researchers have revealed that employers are receptive to job salary funds and tax credits (Greenwood et
The most important recommendation is that the companies should work towards creating a disability friendly environment. It is surely the leader's job to make sure that the architecture and overall environment should be such that it attracts people with disabilities (Hazer and Bedell, 2000) The CEOs should communicate with the organization and display their support of hiring those who have disabilities
Discussion The labor force at the moment is not growing at a very fast rate. The number of persons in the workforce is rapidly decreasing due to the increasing elderly population in the country (Kovar, 1982) This ultimately places a dire burden on the labor force of the country and raises concern about more efficiency persons coming in the workforce of the country
Considering how companies are in a race to gain some sort of competitive advantage, this research works to review the amount of effort and time firms spend on the hiring process of people with disabilities. Using the Maslow Hierarchy of Human needs, the research underpins on the fact that the basic human needs should be fulfilled (Maslow & Stephens, 2000) Keeping this in mind, the HR department can make use of the Maslow's hierarchy of needs to motivate their employees in many different ways
Even with such need in the labor market, studies have shown that people with disabilities are employed less. It should be known that this disability can also be physical where the mental, social and emotional capability of the person is similar to that of an average person (Murray & Lopez, 1997) The aforementioned results and findings show that there is a moderate level of awareness about the various laws and incentives that pertain to persons with disabilities
It also went onto exclude certain disabilities like visual impairment and substance abuse. This law basically states that a covered entity should not discriminate a qualified individual just because he has a disability (Walk et
It has been stated in the review of literature and figured out through the research that most of the employers are not aware of the work incentives programs that are being provided by the federal government all over the country (Berthoud, 1998). Furthermore, section 102 and other provisions of the American with Disabilities Act, which do not allow the assessment of the health status of an employee, also prohibits the effectiveness of economic incentives for employers hiring individuals with disabilities (United States, House, 2003)
The goal of response to intervention with intense instruction that is research based, increased and frequent measurements of performance are to keep children from failing academically. Moreover, response to intervention is offered as another method to determining if a child has a disability that is not based solely on achievement or ability or the "discrepancy model" (Fuchs & Fuchs, 2006)
Moreover, response to intervention is offered as another method to determining if a child has a disability that is not based solely on achievement or ability or the "discrepancy model" (Fuchs & Fuchs, 2006). RTI has faced some support as well as some criticism with the criticism being based on the fact that RTI seems more appropriate for prevention rather than remediation and actually making the determination if a learning disability exists (Hale, Naglieri, Kaufman & Kavale, 2004)
Kaufman, Hallahan and Wills (1998) in their article, "Politics science and the future of learning disabilities" posit that advocacy for those labeled as learning disabled has taken on a more political position than a scientific one, while readily acknowledging that there have been some advancements in the field but not to the level that has significantly informed the research and as such affected real change for the students. Further, the writers acknowledge that in order for real advancement to transpire within learning disability, there must be consistent, persistent, careful and systematic empirical research completed (Hallahan, Kauffman & Lloyd, 1999)
Airways, then the way in which Barnett gained and lost the job was in no way illegal because the decision was based on his seniority and not his disability. At the same time, the ADA does not allow for or require that a legitimate system like that be ignored as part of a reasonable accommodation (Vries, 2002)
They ensure that all Americans get equal employment, promotion, dismissal and trainings in places of work without referring to their nature of creation or operation of their limbs. Americans with Disabilities Act has covered government institutions, employment bureau, telecommunication, private institutions and transport sectors (Shaw, 2008, p
