“…There are numerous opportunities for entrepreneurs to engage in the new gig economy that did not exist even 10 years ago. Radical new ways to get funding for a start-up company include crowd-source platforms sites such as GoFundMe; online common landing sites such as Craigslist, which now has a special section for gig economy jobs; and Kickstarter and Indiegogo have changed the way people find opportunities and acquire funding for start-ups (Ouimette & Rammler, 2017; Yamamoto & Olson, 2016). The Craigslist site, one of many that have similar listings, includes six different types of gig economy jobs broken down by geographical region with jobs in diverse areas such as domestic, labor, crew, and event.…”

The field of rehabilitation has laid a great foundation for the monumental entrepreneurial changes that have occurred to the worldwide economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of self-employment as an outcome has fallen below 1% of Vocational Rehabilitation closures but can rise as the field takes a four-pronged approach to helping individuals become entrepreneurs. The idea of entrepreneurship fits rehabilitation philosophy and through training, legislation, and new vision many persons with disabilities can find successful careers as entrepreneurs.

Background The incidence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is on the rise. Currently, 1 in 59 children are identified with ASD in the United States. ASD refers to a range of neurological disorders that involve some degree of difficulty with communication and interpersonal relationships. The range of the spectrum for autism disorders is wide with those at the higher functioning end often able to lead relatively independent lives and complete academic programs even while demonstrating social awkwardness. Those at the lower functioning end of the autism spectrum often demonstrate physical limitations, may lack speech, and have the inability to relate socially with others. As persons with ASD age, options such as employment become increasingly important as a consideration for long‐term personal planning and quality of life. While many challenges exist for persons with ASD in obtaining and maintaining employment, some research shows that, with effective behavioral and social interventions, employment can occur. About 37% of individuals with ASD report having been employed for 12 months or more, 4 years after exiting high school. However, several studies show that individuals with ASD are more likely to lose their employment for behavioral and social interaction problems rather than their inability to perform assigned work tasks. Although Westbrook et al. (2012a, 2013, 2015) have reviewed the literature on interventions targeting employment for individuals with ASD, this review is outdated and does not account for recent developments in the field. Objectives The objective of this review is to determine the effectiveness of employment interventions in securing and maintaining employment for adults and transition‐age youth with ASD, updating two reviews by Westbrook et al. (2012a, 2013). Search Methods The comprehensive search strategy used to identify relevant studies included a review of 28 relevant electronic databases. Search terminology for each of the electronic databases was developed from available database thesauri. Appropriate synonyms were used to maximize the database search output. Several international databases were included among the 28 databases searched. In addition, the authors identified and reviewed gray literature through analysis of reference lists of relevant studies. Unpublished dissertations and theses were also identified through database searches. The programs of conferences held by associations and organizations relevant to ASD and employment were also searched. In sum, the search strategy replicated and expanded the prior search methods used by Westbrook et al. (2012a, 2013). Selection Criteria Selection criteria consisted of an intervention evaluation using a randomized controlled trial or quasi‐experimental design, an employment outcome, and a population of individuals with ASD. Data Collection and Analysis We updated the search from Westbrook et al., replicating and broadening the information retrieval processes. Our wide array of sources included electronic databases, gray lite...
