Counseling & Vocational Guidance for People with Disabilities: Attitudes & Perceptions of Counselors and Self-Efficacy in Career Counseling for People with Disabilities

The present research focuses on the career counseling of people with disabilities in general and the contribution of career counselors to the career counseling of people with disabilities in particular. The subject of this study arose after contacting both on professional and personal level with people with disabilities who complained about ineffective career guidance while attributing this ineffectiveness to a lack of skills and knowledge of the counselors themselves and their ignorance of issues related to people with disabilities. At the same time, they often felt that the counselors were negatively prejudiced against them, which resulted in their not responding effectively to counseling procedure with people with disabilities.
In the present study, we attempted to investigate the attitudes and perceptions of career counselors towards people with disabilities and whether these affect their self-efficacy in career counseling for the disabled. In the first part, a theoretical background is provided, including a literature review regarding issues concerning people with disabilities such as the legal framework, their career orientation and professional development, the shortcomings of the Greek educational system in the provision of Vocational Guidance Services to people with disabilities etc. Then the interest shifts from people with disabilities to the attitudes and self-efficacy of career counselors with particular emphasis on Albert Bandura's theory.
In the second part, which is the research, the attitudes-perceptions of ninety three (93) Career Counselors regarding the career counseling of people with disabilities as well as their self-efficacy in career counseling of the specific target group were investigated. As it turned out, both the attitudes-perceptions of the counselors and factors such as their knowledge about issues related to disability, the existence of studies in special education and their previous experience with people with disabilities in the field of vocational guidance affect their self-efficacy in career counseling of people with disabilities and in fact, the two variables are positively correlated.
