Abstract
People of racial and ethnic minorities receive disparate treatment in state vocational rehabilitation agencies, yet little research exists to explore whether this is also true for their experiences in community rehabilitation programs (CRP's). Individuals of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity are the largest and fastest growing minority group in the nation, yet their employment rates are lower than for White non-Hispanic/Latinos. This article examines barriers to the participation of Hispanic/Latino individuals with disabilities in CRP's. It provides a historical framework to the problem, presents empirical findings from qualitative research, and concludes with Web-based resources for diversity training in CRP's, and recommendations for future research.
