A 20-Year Longitudinal Perspective on the Vocational Experiences of Persons with Spinal Cord Injury

Michigan State University

The vocational experiences of 50 individuals 22 to 45 years after a spinal cord injury are recounted based on interviews conducted in 1974 and 1994. As a group, their work records exceeded that of most samples reported in the literature; all except 7 have engaged in remunerative employment. At the time of the last interview, 58% were working full time and 16% were working part time. Factors that contributed to the vocational accomplishments of this sample include early work experiences, comprehensive rehabilitation services, and work ethic.
