Abstract

This review explores the pivotal role of career counseling in empowering individuals with disabilities to overcome barriers in the workforce. The study highlights the positive impact of tailored interventions on self-efficacy, skill development, and independence. Policies such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and global conventions underscore the importance of an inclusive work environment. Policymakers play a crucial role in shaping inclusive work environments. At the same time, researchers are urged to explore future directions, including longitudinal studies and intersectional analyses. The implication is a transformative potential where individuals with disabilities are not just integrated into the workforce but celebrated for their unique contributions.
