Magister Scientiae (Occupational Therapy) - MSc(OT) / Despite extensive literature highlighting the role of supported employment in ensuring access
to work for people with disabilities, there is limited research on their perspectives of supported
employment. This thesis presents a research study conducted in two different supported
employment programmes in South Africa. The aim of the study was to explore and describe
people with disabilities’ perspectives on how participation in a supported employment
programme facilitates access to work. The research objectives sought to explore the barriers
to, and facilitators of, inclusion and access for people with disabilities to work; describe key
elements of a supported employment programme that influences access and inclusion for
people with disabilities to work; and finally, to explore people with disabilities’ perspectives
regarding the value of participating in a supported employment programme.
