Product Description
Self-employment is a realistic employment option for all people, regardless of disability. With an emphasis on the involvement of community programs and school transition staff, this book focuses on how to identify and utilize the critical business supports necessary for the development of self-employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Specific topics covered include the role of community rehabilitation personnel and vocational rehabilitation counselors and methods for using programs such as Plans for Achieving Self Support and Ticket to Work. While this book provides practical advice for helping people with developmental disabilities become successfully self-employed, other books on disability and work tend to examine theoretical issues and stop short of providing useful strategies.

 Econonomic Development April 20, 2007
I have not only read Cary and Daves book I have successfully implemented these strategies to support people with a wide range of disabilities to attain and succesfully maintain self-employment ventures. Thier ability to be inventive and to time and time again help the disability community move from scarcity thinking into economic development always amazes me.

 Disapointing August 19, 2006

This book is vaguley geared to thoose with disabilites. I would find this useful if I was in a wheel chair or had another obstacle. However having a pain disorder the book read to me of that of "NORMAL" healthy people. Wasted my limited money.
 Excellent Source Book July 19, 2005
I have gone through this book being disabled myself. This book offers valuable insight into the difficult process of self-employment for the disabled, and deciding which way you might proceed.
I think I get it now! May 18, 2005
I recently read "Making self-employment work for people with disabilities." Some of the leg work that needed to be done up front made immediate sense to me. Some was still puzzling. After a training session I read the book over and it became crystal clear. This book makes you step out of your comfort zone and ask and answer the hard questions. Some of it makes you view the world of work and working as a business in itself. Especially, business from a banker or rehabilitation agency view point. Sometimes, this viewpoint gets lost in the shuffle of trying to help a person with a disability start a viable business. Key word here: viable. After all a well written business plan helps start the business off on the right foot. Keep guiding us Cary.
