“…Supporting previous studies that identified transportation as an important factor in employment among individuals with visual impairments (Crudden et al, 2005;Lukyanova et al, 2015;McDonnall, 2011;Shaw et al, 2007), the current study found that individuals with RP who are able to drive had 130% higher odds of being employed. The association between ability to drive and employment status approached statistical significance and warrants future investigation.…”

“…Negative societal attitudes have been frequently reported as important social barriers to employment (see McDonnall et al, 2015; McDonnall et al, 2014). Considering physical barriers, transportation issues have consistently been found to pose barriers to employment for individuals with visual impairments (Crudden et al, 2005; Lukyanova et al, 2015; McDonnall, 2011; Shaw et al, 2007). The current study examined the association of employment status and previously explored factors in an international sample of working-age individuals with RP.…”

“…For example, Bell and Mino (2013) demonstrated a higher employment rate among adults with visual impairment who used a cane in their daily travel, compared to adults who did not use a cane. Other training factors that have been correlated with employment outcomes include previous work experience (Connors et al, 2014; Giesen & Cavenaugh, 2013; Lukyanova et al, 2015; McDonnall, 2011; McDonnall & Crudden, 2009), use of braille at least once per week (Bell & Mino, 2015; Bell & Silverman, 2018), computer competency (Zhou et al, 2013), participation in blindness community organization (Bell & Mino, 2015; Bell & Silverman, 2018), quality of counselor–consumer relationship (Capella-McDonnall, 2005), involvement of vocational rehabilitation counselor, and clear vocational rehabilitation goals (Lukyanova et al, 2015).…”

Introduction: In this study, the author examined the association between general self-efficacy (GSE) and employment status in working-age adults with retinitis pigmentosa (RP; N = 183). The author further examined the associations between employment status and factors that were previously found to be linked to employment outcomes in individuals with visual impairments: educational attainment, mobility tool use (i.e., use of dog guide or cane), ability to drive, age, gender, and age at onset of visual impairment. Methods: Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze cross-sectional data collected online in 2015. Results: Findings indicated that individuals with RP who have a bachelor’s degree or higher had significantly higher odds of being employed ( p < .01) and that individuals with RP who use a cane or dog guide had significantly lower odds of being employed ( p < .01). Although not statistically significant, findings further indicated that individuals with RP who have higher GSE had higher odds of being employed ( p = .07) and that individuals who are able to drive had 130% higher odds of being employed ( p = .06). Discussion: Results demonstrated an association between GSE and employment status, after controlling for factors that were previously linked to employment outcomes in individuals with visual impairment. Implications for practitioners: Self-efficacy is an alterable cognitive construct and may be the target of interventions to increase employment outcomes for adults with RP or other eye conditions.

“…State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies frequently contract with community rehabilitation programs (CRPs) to deliver a variety of employment services to individuals with disabilities who require support to obtain and maintain employment (Lukyanova et al, 2015). It is estimated that there are nearly 12,000 CRPs nationally, and the majority provide services to individuals with intellectual disabilities (50%) and those with mental illnesses (19%), followed by physical disabilities (9%) and sensory impairments (4%) (Domin & Butterworth, 2012).…”

State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) programs frequently partner with community rehabilitation programs (CRPs) to provide key employment support to individuals with significant disabilities. However, the employment outcomes for many individuals have consisted of a lengthy period of time to placement, low wages, and limited hours. The Utah State Office of Rehabilitation (USOR) sought to learn whether recent agency CRP policy changes had a positive influence on client employment outcomes and use results to inform further internal evaluation efforts.
