Longstanding advocacy for employment opportunity, recent legislative and policy developments, and advancements in employment service practice have contributed to an emerging notion of presumptive employability for individuals with disabilities. Unfortunately, low levels of employment remain the norm for people with disabilities, especially those with intellectual disability. Further, an examination of employer views of people with intellectual disability suggests that effective connections remain elusive between employers and employment service programs that support job seekers with intellectual disability. In this article employer perspectives are considered and case descriptions of effective connections of people with intellectual disability to employers are provided in order to meet demand-side operational needs. These perspectives have implications for elevating the effectiveness of employment service practice.
长期以来，人们一直倡导为残疾人提供就业机会，最近的立法和政策发展以及就业服务实践的进步，促使人们对残疾人的就业能力产生了一种新的看法。不幸的是，残疾人的就业率仍然很低，特别是那些智障人士。此外，对雇主对智障人士的看法的研究表明，雇主和为智障求职者提供支持的就业服务项目之间仍然难以建立有效的联系。本文考虑了雇主的观点，并提供了智障人士与雇主建立有效联系的案例描述，以满足需求方的运营需求。这些观点对提高就业服务实践的效果具有重要意义。
