Popis:	The impact of categorical labels versus functional limitations upon rehabilitation professionals' identification of clients for supported employment was investigated. A group of 89 rehabilitation professionals in a large southern state reviewed a case description of an individual exhibiting inappropriate work behaviors that functionally defined appropriate candidates for supported employment, but varied only in terms of the categorical label assigned to the fictitious client. The case description had five variations: no disability, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, hearing impairment, or mental retardation. Results suggest that the categorical label impacted upon decisions to refer clients for supported employment. Implications for rehabilitation education and practice, as well as directions for future research are identified and discussed.
