Book Synopsis
To date, studies of disabled people and employment have mainly focused on barriers to gaining and maintaining employment. This report breaks new ground in asking: how do those disabled people who are already in work get and keep paid work? Written in an accessible style, the report: · details the strategies disabled people use to thrive and survive at work; · exposes the employment difficulties disabled people face in work environments designed by and for non-disabled people; · looks at the policy context in which disabled people maintain paid work; · draws on the experiences related by disabled people themselves; · frames questions in terms of the issues that are important to disabled workers.

Table of Contents
Contents: Background and context; Disabled workers' employment strategies; Support and disabled workers; Lessons for stakeholders; Conclusions and implications for policy and practice.
