Becoming an effective career practitioner working with persons with disabilities (PWD) requires integration
collaboration among leadership, partners, and staff to deliver efficient, effective, and empowering career
development services to individuals with disabilities to increase the quality employment outcomes.
Effective rehabilitation practitioners (e.g. job coaches) must promote early engagement with clients to
streamline career plans/pathways, barrier reduction, and the development of employment plans to help
individuals achieve their employment goals.  Rehabilitation practitioners must have a clear understanding
of their roles and responsibilities as well as a complete grasp of the tools and resources needed to competently
address their client’s employment needs.
