Work Integration Issues Go beyond the Nature of the Communication Disorder.

Garcia, Linda J.; Laroche, Chantal; Barrette, Jacques

Journal of Communication Disorders, v35 n2 p187-211 Mar-Apr 2002

A study gathered perceptions from persons with communication disorders (CD) (n=78), 13 service providers, and 22 employers on barriers to work integration. Results show many barriers are common across types of CD, including noise, tasks requiring speed, having to speak to groups of persons, and attitudes of others. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
