Racial and Disability Identity: Implications for the Career Counseling of African Americans with Disabilities
Mpofu, Elias; Harley, Debra A.
Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, v50 n1 p14-23 Fall 2006
Racial and disability identities are separate issues, yet they both contribute to the multiple social identities that influence career counseling outcomes for persons of color with disabilities. Few studies have examined the effects of racial and disability identity on the career outcomes of members of this group. This article discusses racial and disability identity as assets for career counseling of people of color with disabilities, whose career counseling outcomes are also mediated by the prevailing racial and disabilities disparities in career participation. Possibilities for further research on identities as resources for career counseling are also discussed.
