VCU RRTC on Employment with Physical Disabilities

RRTC Employment Research Database

The RRTC Research Database includes journal articles on employment of people with physical disabilities. Each article has been reviewed and summarized by RRTC staff. The summaries are provided in order for you to determine if you would like to review the original research.

This is a work in progress. We would like your help in building a resource that is helpful to individuals with physical disabilities in gaining and maintaining employment. If you have an article that you would like to recommend for inclusion, please submit it to us for our review.
