Abstract
Employment in science and engineering will be an extremely vital component of the nation's workforce in the next century. Persons with disabilities as a source of professionals for science and engineering remains largely untapped. The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the perceptions of rehabilitation counselors regarding clients' educational preparedness and aptitude to meet the academic and employment demands of science and engineering as well as their perceptions of barriers to career entry into the fields for persons with disabilities. Implications of the findings for the matriculation of persons with disabilities in science and engineering are discussed.
