Navigating Remote and Virtual Work-Based Learning Experiences for Students with Disabilities
Jessica Ellott; Amber E. McConnell
TEACHING Exceptional Children, v56 n5 p412-422 2024
"Work-based learning experiences" is a broad term applying to an array of in-school or after-school learning opportunities, from career awareness, exploration, development, and application. Through WBLEs, students will learn about work, gain employability skills, and connect their school experiences to real work settings. WBLEs can also be considered as part of a larger process of career development for all students. WBLEs often take place within a workplace; however, this is not required. WBLEs may take place in the community, at school, virtually, or using a combination of settings. Participation in WBLEs by students with disabilities is a predictor of adult employment in competitive, integrated employment opportunities. As remote education continues to expand, the need for alternate forms of WBLEs for students with disabilities increases. Remote and virtual WBLEs have the potential to provide more equitable access to the world of work for all students by mitigating geographic, transportation, and economic barriers.
