Abstract

The purpose of this study was to Investigate client factors related to the success or failure of American Indians in the Navajo Vocational Rehabilitation Project (NVRP). Previous information from rehabilitation service providers, including both state and Indian vocational rehabilitation project staff, indicated that there were barriers to service delivery unique to reservation-based Indians. However, little formal documentation of those barriers existed in the professional literature. It was the intent of this study to systematically review individual case files and provide documentation of client, family, communication, and service system variables that influence the success or failure of NVRP clients. Several variables were identified through discriminate function analysis as predictive of successful case closure in the Navajo Vocational Rehabilitation System.
