Figure 5. Box-and-whiskers plot for number of days until participants meeting with disability
program navigator. Outlier at 14-day mark.
The minimum value was 0 (on the same day), the maximum value was 14, and the
median was 1 day. The Quartile 1 was 0 days, the Quartile 3 was 3 days, and the Interquartile
Range (IQR) was 3. Endpoints of the whisker lengths were 4.5 and 7.5. There was one outlier of
14 days, which was removed to avoid distorting the statistics.
Figure 6 is a box-and-whiskers plot for the number of minutes participants were in their
meeting with the disability program navigator, and shows the five-point summary and whisker

Figure 7. Box-and-whiskers plot for participants total Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8)
scores.
The minimum score was 16, the maximum was 32, and the median was 28. The Quartile
1 was 16, the Quartile 3 was 31, and the Interquartile Range (IQR) was 15. Endpoints of the
whisker lengths were 0 and 53.5. There were no outliers higher than 53.5 minutes or lower than 0
minutes; therefore, no data was removed.
Based on the box-and-whiskers plot, five-point summaries, and calculations identifying
outliers, the SPSS data was modified to eliminate the case with the 14-day outlier.
In addition to demographic questions, other questions asked on the Background
Information Sheet related to where participants found out about the one stop career centers
disability program navigator from, how many days it was until they met with the disability
93
program navigator, and how many minutes they spent in their meeting. The purpose for asking
these questions was to obtain information on factors that might be related to customers
satisfaction levels in order to answer research question 1; To what extent are customers satisfied
the services of the disability program navigators in one-stop career centers, and research question
2; What areas do customers identify as needing improvement? The majority of participants
found out about the disability program navigator from the one-stop career center (48.8%) and the
unemployment office (41.5%).
A frequency analysis was conducted on how many days it was after participants asked to
meet with the disability program navigator until they were actually able to meet with him or her.
A frequency histogram of the days is provided in Figure 8.

The results indicated by participants regarding the number of days until a participant met
with the disability program navigator were; 0 days = 14 (34.1%; that is, met on the same day), 1
day = 10 (24.4%); that is, within 24 hours), 2 days = 5 (12.2%; that is, within 48 hours), 3 days =
5, (12.2%; that is, within 72 hours), 5 days = 2 (4.9%), 6 days = 1 (2.4%), 7 days = 3 (7.3%), and
14 days = 1 (2.4%). The majority from both sites fell between 0 days and 3 days. As indicated in
Figure 8, the sample ranged in dates until an actual meeting with the disability program navigator
from 0 to 14 days, the mean was 2.1, the mode was 1, and the standard deviation was 2.84. Of
note was that there were no days reported for 4 days or 6 days, there was only one reporting of 5
days and 7 days, and there was an absence of any days between 7 and 14 days.
A frequency analysis for how much time participants spent in their first meeting with the
disability program navigator is shown in Figure 9.

Client Satisfaction Questionnaire Sample Characteristics
The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) consisted of eight questions about
satisfaction with services received, each of which was rated using a Likert scale of 1 through 4,
and then are added together, for a total satisfaction score that could range from 8 to 32. The
highest score that could be given on any one item was a 4. A frequency analysis of the
distribution of total satisfaction scores is shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10. Distribution of Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) scores. Histogram shows
bimodal shape.
The sample ranged in client satisfaction scores from 16 to 32. The mean was 27.49, the
median was 28, the mode was 32, and the standard deviation was 3.97. The majority of Client
Satisfaction Questionnaire scores from both sites fell between 24 and 32. Of note were an outlier
of 16, and the lack of any scores between 17 and 21. The histogram of the distribution of Client
Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) scores indicates a bimodal shape. Brase & Brase (1999)
stated that bimodal shapes indicate sampling from two different populations.
Results for each of the 8 items of the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire are shown in the
following tables. Table 1 shows the results of the responses to item 1; How would you rate the
97
quality of service you received? The majority of respondents (58.5%) replied with an excellent
rating, and 95.1% rated the quality of service as good or excellent.

Mean ratings on the eight items ranged from 2.98 on Item 3 to 3.61 on Item 4. Standard
deviations ranged from .542 to .790. The lowest rating of 1 was given on Item 3; To what extent
has the program met your needs? and Item 5; How satisfied are you with the amount of help you
received?
In summary, more than 50% of respondents scored the disability program navigator
service with favorable response ratings on all eight items on the Client Satisfaction
Questionnaire (CSQ-8). The lowest mean score of 2.98 on any item, the lowest rating score of 1,
and the lowest percentage of favorable responses (78.1%) was on Item 3; To what extent has the
program met your needs? The highest mean score of 3.61 was on Item 4; If a friend were in need
of similar help, would you recommend our program to him or her? The highest total of
respondent percentages (97.6%) was on Item 8; If you were to seek help again, would you come
back to our program?
Pearsons Correlation Coefficients
A visual inspection of the histograms did not indicate any violations of the assumptions
of normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity (Pallant, 2007). The histograms inspected included
participants total Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) scores, their age, years of
education, number of days until they met with the disability program navigator, and number of
minutes they spent in their meeting.
To evaluate the variables with respect to each other, and determine if one variable
influenced or caused the resultant total satisfaction scores, t tests were run, and the Pearsons
103
correlation coefficient (r) was determined. These results assisted in answering research question
3; How do the customers levels of satisfaction with services received from the disability
program navigator relate to age, gender, education, how they found out about the disability
program navigator, how quickly they were able to meet with the disability program navigator,
and the amount of time spent in their meeting? The Pearsons correlation coefficient (r) was used
to explore the relationship between the ratio scale variables, that is, the participants total Client
Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) scores and their age, years of education, number of days
until they met with the disability program navigator, and number of minutes they spent in their
meeting. Results of the SPSS calculation for the participants age and total client satisfaction
scores are shown in Table 10.

T Tests
To evaluate the degree of the relationship between a participants total client satisfaction
score and gender, whether a disability was disclosed, and where the individual found out about
the disability program navigator, independent-samples t tests were calculated in SPSS. A 95%
confidence interval of the difference was used for all t tests. The results of the independent-
samples t tests to compare the means of the total client satisfaction scores for women and men
are provided in Table 14.

Coefficients of Determination
To assist in explaining the amount of variance between the independent variables of age,
years of education, number of days until a participants meeting with the disability program
navigator, and minutes in the meeting, and the dependent variable of the total client satisfaction
scores, coefficients of determination were calculated. This involved squaring the Pearsons r
value and converting to percentage of variance by multiplying by 100, which was done using a
calculator. The results of the coefficients of determination between the independent variables of
age, years of education, number of days until a participants meeting with the disability program
navigator, and minutes in the meeting, and the dependent variable of the total client satisfaction
scores are provided in Table 21.

For all independent variables, the calculated per cent of shared variance was low,
indicating little overlap between the two variables. The independent variables of age, years of
education, number of days until a participants meeting with the disability program navigator,
and minutes in the meeting did not appear to explain much of the variance in the client
satisfaction scores.
Conclusion
In this chapter, data analysis and results were reported. The following research questions
were addressed.
1. To what extent are customers satisfied with the services of the disability program
navigators in one-stop career centers?
The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) was used to obtain data relative to clients
satisfaction with the services of the disability program navigators in one-stop career centers. A
116
total satisfaction score could range from 8 to 32. Reported total client satisfaction scores ranged
from 16 to 32. The mean was 27.49, the median was 28, the mode was 32, and the standard
deviation was 3.97. The majority of Client Satisfaction Questionnaire scores was between 24 and
32.
2. What areas do customers identify as needing improvement?
The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) consisted of eight questions about
satisfaction with services received. Answers were rated using a Likert scale of 1 through 4, and
the highest score that could be given on any one item was a 4. Descriptive statistics were done on
the eight items on the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8). Mean ratings on the eight items
ranged from 2.98 on Item 3 to 3.61 on Item 4. Standard deviations ranged from .54 to .79. The
lowest rating of 1 was given on Item 3; To what extent has the program met your needs? and
Item 5; How satisfied are you with the amount of help you received?
In summary, more than 50% of respondents scored the disability program navigator
service with favorable response ratings on all eight items on the Client Satisfaction
Questionnaire (CSQ-8). The lowest mean score of 2.98 on any item, the lowest rating score of 1,
and the lowest percentage of favorable responses (78.1%) was on Item 3; To what extent has the
program met your needs? This suggested less satisfaction in this area, and that improvement may
be needed in the effectiveness of services provided. The highest mean score of 3.61 was on Item
4; If a friend were in need of similar help, would you recommend our program to him or her?
The highest total of respondent percentages (97.6%) was on Item 8; If you were to seek help
again, would you come back to our program?
117
3. How do the customers levels of satisfaction with services received from the disability
program navigator relate to age, gender, education, how they found out about the
disability program navigator, how quickly they were able to meet with the disability
program navigator, and the amount of time spent in their meeting?
Ages of participants ranged from 25 years to 74 years. The mean was 45, and a slight
majority of the sample fell between the ages of 25 and 58 years. Participants educational level
ranged from 9 to 19 years, and the majority of participants had 12 to 14 years of education. There
were no outliers other than a 14-day outlier until the meeting with the disability program
navigator, which was removed to avoid distorting the statistics. A visual inspection of the
histograms did not indicate any violations of the assumptions of normality, linearity, and
homoscedasticity.
The Pearsons correlation coefficient (r) was used to explore the relationship between the
participants total Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) scores and their age, years of
education, number of days until a meeting with the disability program navigator, and number of
minutes spent in the meeting. Results indicated that older respondents tended to have lower total
client satisfaction scores, participants with more years of education tended to have higher total
client satisfaction scores, participants who met with the disability program navigator sooner
tended to have higher total client satisfaction scores, and participants that spent more time in
their meeting with the disability program navigator tended to have higher total client satisfaction
scores.
118
Independent-samples t tests were calculated to evaluate the degree of the relationship
between a participants total client satisfaction score and gender, whether a disability was
disclosed, and where the individual found out about the disability program navigator. Results
indicated no significant difference in total client satisfaction scores between women and men or
between participants who self-identified as having a disability and those who did not self-
identify. Also, there was no significant difference in total client satisfaction scores between
participants who did not and did find out about the disability program navigator from the one-
stop career center, between participants who did not and did find out about the disability program
navigator from a website or online, between participants who did not and did find out about the
disability program navigator from the Social Security office or unemployment office, or between
participants who did not and did find out about the disability program navigator from family and
friends.
Coefficients of determination were calculated to assist in explaining the amount of
variance between age, years of education, number of days until a participants meeting with the
disability program navigator, and minutes in the meeting, and total client satisfaction scores.
Results indicated a low percent of shared variance, little overlap, and that the variables of age,
years of education, number of days until a participants meeting with the disability program
navigator, and minutes in the meeting appeared to explain little of the variance in the client
satisfaction scores.
In Chapter 5, a detailed discussion of the findings of the research is provided, as well as
implications that can be drawn. Recommendations for future research are offered.

CHAPTER 5. RESULTS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Introduction
The purpose of this study was to assess and analyze levels of satisfaction of customers
who were referred to and used the services provided by a disability program navigator under the
Disability Program Navigator Initiative at two one-stop career centers. In this chapter, a
summary and discussion of the studys results will be provided, as well as a discussion of the
conclusions, interpretations, and limitations. Recommendations and implications for further
research, and a final conclusion will be presented.
Summary of the Results
Although the one-stop career center system has been in existence since its creation by the
Workforce Investment Act of 1998, there is limited research with customer satisfaction surveys
involving people with disabilities (Barlas, 1998). Questionnaires assessing client satisfaction
with services in human services agencies, however, are plentiful, yet, a significant gap exists
regarding customers actual experiences in the use of the one-stop career centers and services of
a disability program navigator. Likewise, there is no data available from disability program
navigator program assessments specifically on customer satisfaction from individuals who
disclosed they had a disability, or required assistance with a disability-related issue. To add to
the limited knowledge in this area, this quantitative studys research questions addressed the
factors influencing one-stop career center customer satisfaction, as follows;
120
1. To what extent are customers satisfied with the services of the disability program
navigators in one-stop career centers?
2. What areas do customers identify as needing improvement?
3. How do the customers levels of satisfaction with services received from the disability
program navigator relate to age, gender, education, how they found out about the
disability program navigator, how quickly they were able to meet with the disability
program navigator, and the amount of time spent in their meeting?
Two surveys were used to obtain information in assessing client satisfaction, a
Background Information Sheet and the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8). Four one-stop
career centers were contacted for this study, as they were identified as serving people with
disabilities by a panel of experts in a previous study (Bader, 2003). Two of the one-stop career
centers no longer had disability program navigators due to the fact that the grant funding the
program had ended. The other two sites agreed to participate in this study, and each site was sent
50 survey packets to hand out to customers who met with the disability program navigators. A
total of 63 surveys were returned, of which 41 were totally completed and subsequently used in
this study. A correlational analysis using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS,
15.0) was done to ascertain what, if any, relationships existed between the demographic
information and customer satisfaction variables, as well as how customers found out about the
disability program navigator, how quickly they were able to meet with the disability program
navigator, and the amount of time spent in their meeting.
121
The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) consisted of eight questions about
satisfaction with services received; each question was rated using a Likert scale of 1 through 4,
which were then added together, for a total satisfaction score ranging from 8 to 32. The highest
score that could be given on any one item was a 4. Mean scores and standard deviations for each
of the eight items on the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) are shown in Table 22.

The lowest satisfaction ratings were on Item 3 of the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire
(CSQ-8), which was, To what extent has the program met your needs? This suggested less
satisfaction in this area, and that improvement may be needed in the effectiveness of services
provided. Highest satisfaction ratings were on Item 4; If a friend were in need of similar help,
122
would you recommend our program to him or her? Total client satisfaction scores ranged from
16 to 32. The mean was 27.49, the median was 28, the mode was 32, and the standard deviation
was 3.97. The majority of Client Satisfaction Questionnaire scores from both sites fell between
24 and 32. Data analysis indicated the majority of customers who met with the disability
program navigator were satisfied with the services they received.
Results indicated that older respondents tended to have lower total client satisfaction
scores, participants with more years of education tended to have higher total client satisfaction
scores, participants who met with the disability program navigator sooner tended to have higher
total client satisfaction scores, and participants that spent more time in their meeting with the
disability program navigator tended to have higher total client satisfaction scores. There was no
significant difference in total client satisfaction scores between women and men, or between
participants who self-identified as having a disability and those who did not self-identify. No
significant difference was found in total client satisfaction scores between participants who did
not and did find out about the disability program navigator from the one-stop career center, from
a website or online, from the Social Security office, from the unemployment office, or from
family and friends. The variables of age, years of education, number of days until a participants
meeting with the disability program navigator, and minutes in the meeting appeared to explain
little of the variance in the client satisfaction scores, with a low percent of shared variance and
only a small amount of overlap.
123
Discussion of the Results
In this section, an interpretation of the results of the study in relation to the research
questions is presented.
Research Question 1
To what extent are customers satisfied with the services of the disability program
navigators in one-stop career centers?
The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) was used to obtain data on a clients
satisfaction with the services of the disability program navigators in one-stop career centers.
Although the majority of Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) scores indicated that most
customers who met with the disability program navigator were satisfied with the services they
received, the Questionnaire did not allow for additional feedback as to the specifics of each item
rated. Analysis incorporating both the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) and
Background Information Sheet revealed that higher client satisfaction scores were given by
participants with more years of education, participants who met with the disability program
navigator sooner, and participants that spent more time in their meeting with the disability
program navigator. Lower total client satisfaction scores were given by older respondents.
Results indicated no significant difference in total client satisfaction scores between women and
men, between participants who self-identified as having a disability and those who did not self-
identify, or any of the participants from any of the referring locations.
124
Research Question 2
What areas do customers identify as needing improvement?
Descriptive statistics done on the eight items on the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire
(CSQ-8) revealed the lowest rating of 1 was given on both Item 3; To what extent has the
program met your needs? and Item 5; How satisfied are you with the amount of help you
received? The lowest mean score on any item, the lowest rating score of 1, and the lowest
percentage of favorable responses (78.1%) was on Item 3; To what extent has the program met
your needs? This suggested less satisfaction in this area, and that improvement may be needed in
the effectiveness of services provided. Although it was anticipated that the data might show that
a meeting with the disability program navigator later, versus sooner, would result in lower client
satisfaction scores, the statistical analysis indicated that this was not so.
Research Question 3
How do the customers levels of satisfaction with services received from the disability
program navigator relate to age, gender, education, how they found out about the disability
program navigator, how quickly they were able to meet with the disability program navigator,
and the amount of time spent in their meeting?
Analysis to explore the relationship between the participants total Client Satisfaction
Questionnaire (CSQ-8) scores and their age, years of education, number of days until a meeting
with the disability program navigator, and number of minutes spent in the meeting revealed that
age was negatively related to client satisfaction scores and years of education was positively
125
related to total client satisfaction scores. Total client satisfaction scores were inversely related to
the number of days until participants meetings with the disability program navigator, while the
amount of time spent in the meetings was positively related to total client satisfaction scores. No
significant differences were found in the degree of relationships between total client satisfaction
scores and gender, whether a disability was disclosed, and where the individual found out about
the disability program navigator. Age, years of education, number of days until a participants
meeting with the disability program navigator, and minutes in the meeting explained little of the
variance in the client satisfaction scores.
Discussion of the Conclusions
Review of the literature has revealed a lack of research assessing client satisfaction with
the services provided by the disability program navigator in a one-stop career center. This is
despite the fact that there were over 450 disability program navigators in 45 states, DC, and
Puerto Rico in 2009 (Workforce 3One, 2009). Previous research has focused on client
satisfaction with the one-stop career centers only, and few studies have specifically involved
people with disabilities. If the one-stop career center system and Disability Program Navigator
Initiative were successful in achieving the goal of increasing the employment rate of people with
disabilities, economic statistics would reflect this, and should likewise, reflect an increase in their
employment. The U.S. Department of Labor reported that in September 2009, the unemployment
rate of persons with a disability was 16.2%. The most recent unemployment rate for people with
a disability currently available, that is June 2010, is 14.4% (U.S. Dept. of Labor, 2010b).
126
Although this appears to reflect a positive increase in employment of people with disabilities, in
June 2009, the unemployment rate for people with a disability was 14.3%, and in June 2008, the
rate was 9.3% (U.S. Dept. of Labor, 2010b). From these statistics, it cannot be determined the
specific impact the Disability Program Navigator Initiative has had on the employment or
unemployment rates of people with disabilities.
Limitations
In quantitative methodology, the existence of a relationship among variables must first be
determined, and any established relationship is not proof of a cause-effect relationship
(Szymanski, 1993). Variables not controlled may suggest causation where there is none (Sproull,
2002; Weinbach & Grinnell, 2004). Uncontrolled variables in the study included gender,
educational level, and age. Implementation and aspects of the Disability Program Navigator
Initiative varied between the two sample sites, which posed a threat to statistical and test scores,
as well as external validity, that is, generalizability to other one-stop career centers (Parker,
1993). The disability-friendliness of the community of the sample one-stop career centers, as
well as the amount of disability trainings provided to the staff at this studys research sites, could
have impacted the accessibility of individuals with disabilities to the sites. The Client
Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) assumed an equal value of each item, since scoring results in
a sum for all items (Sproull, 2002). Therefore, it cannot be determined if any one item had more
weight than another item.
127
Due to the fact that only two one-stop career center sites with a disability program
navigator participated in this study, generalization of the findings to other one-stop career centers
in the United States is limited. Expanding the research to include other one-stop career centers
that have disability program navigators would assist to corroborate and supplement the studys
findings. Using a true random sampling, or converting the studys convenience sample to a
random sample, would enhance the quality of the data. Because data for the study was collected
via mail with contacts that were long distance and from two different data sources, there were
most likely differences in the way the surveys were administered. This may result in under or
over representation of the sample population.
Events beyond the control of the researcher impacted the length of time to administer 50
survey packets at each site. These included a change in the disability program navigators
responsibilities, departure and subsequent hiring and training of a new disability program
navigator, and major flooding at one sites location. If finances and time were not an issue, being
able to personally administer and collect the survey data at the research sites would increase the
consistency and number of usable results. Other factors that may have influenced responses
could have been the gender, age, amount of training or years of experience with disability-related
issues of the disability program navigator, which were not addressed in this study.
Recommendations for Further Research
Recommendations in this section are developed from the findings obtained in this study,
and are offered as a means to contribute to, and expand on, the existing research from the
128
positive practice incorporating the services provided by the disability program navigators in
one-stop career centers. Since the studys variables of age, years of education, number of days
until a participants meeting with the disability program navigator, and minutes in the meeting
appeared to explain little of the variance in the clients total satisfaction scores, comments or
additional information could be solicited from respondents as to why they rated an item the
way they did, that is, another layer of information could be requested. Additional feedback
could be obtained on the areas for improvement indicated by customers, which related to the
extent the program met their needs and satisfaction with the amount of help received. A focus
group approach could supply this information, as well as why some customers meetings were
longer than others, thereby providing feedback to improve the services provided.
Other issues that could be investigated in future research could include whether a
respondents level of computer literacy had an effect on his or her responses, and why the age
of a respondent appeared to negatively correlate with the client satisfaction scores. Obtaining
information on the type of disability that was self-disclosed and the severity of it could be
compared with a respondents customer satisfaction score, although this is personal
information that individuals may be reluctant to share. Future research addressing customer
satisfaction with disability program navigator services in one-stop career centers could include
obtaining information on the disability program navigator, the relationship of this information
to customer satisfaction, and the disability program navigators feedback. Follow-up studies
could be repeated with the same research sites, or use a different customer satisfaction
questionnaire, as there are many others available, and at least one that has been shown reliable
129
for people with and without disabilities. Also, a regression line analysis could be part of a
future research.
Conclusion
The results of this research contributed knowledge concerning the perceptions and
satisfaction of one-stop career centers customers, both with and without a disability, who used
the services of the disability program navigator. Data analysis showed that a majority of
customers reported high satisfaction levels with the services, that they would recommend the
program to others, and that they would return to the program. Areas for improvement indicated
by customers related to the extent the program met their needs and satisfaction with the amount
of help received. Higher satisfaction scores were given by respondents who were younger, those
who met with the disability program navigator sooner, and individuals who spent more time in
the meeting with the disability program navigator. There were no significant differences in the
degree of the relationship between a participants total client satisfaction score and gender,
whether a disability was disclosed, and where the individual found out about the disability
program navigator. The variables of age, years of education, number of days until a participants
meeting with the disability program navigator, and minutes in the meeting appeared to explain
little of the variance in the clients total satisfaction scores.
Results of this studys correlational analysis between demographic information and the
studys variables have provided increased insight into what extent the Disability Program
Navigator Initiative has achieved the goals of the one-stop career center system. This knowledge
130
allows for monitoring changes, understanding for improvement, program modifications, and
provides favorable evidence that any future plans should incorporate a disability program
navigator in every state. This study could also be used for future research in other one-stop
career centers or programs with a disability program navigator.
It is hoped that the results of this research will encourage other researchers and programs
to further examine client satisfaction with the services provided by current and future disability
program navigators in one-stop career centers. Disability program navigators serve as an
important resource to many populations with disabilities, such as youths and veterans
(Workforce
3
One, 2009). They serve as a connection to workforce supports and programs, and
provide services that cannot be obtained from other sources. Studies evaluating the one-stop
career centers with disability program navigators have reported significant advantages of having
a disability program navigator in the system, and that disability program navigators have had a
positive impact on one-stop career centers (Livermore & Goodman, 2009). However, generated
reports have provided only a limited analysis of data, making it difficult to measure the precise
impact of systems change activities on employment outcomes and evaluate any specific impact
of the project on the employment of people with disabilities (Livermore & Goodman, 2009).
It is strongly recommended that dedicated and ongoing funding be established in all
states to allow the services of the disability program navigators to continue, and also be
expanded to accommodate the challenging and dynamic future economic environment. A
summary report of six Federal partners recommendations, by the U.S. Department of Labors
Office of Disability Employment Policy, specifically identified expansion of the Disability
131
Program Navigator Initiative in all one-stop career centers, as well as dedicated and permanent
funding of the Initiative (U.S. Dept. of Labor, Office of Disability Employment Policy, 2010).
The National Council on Disability (2009) also made the same recommendations in its National
Disability Policy; A Progress Report. In its report, the National Council on Disability advocated
for these recommendations because it was felt that people with disabilities would not only be
better served but a more integrated, inclusive, and cost-effective approach to Federal disability
policy would be provided (2009, p 1). This stance was particularly crucial because, In addition
to the more than 50 million Americans with disabilities, the United States faces a rapidly
approaching demographic shift to an older population, with an attendant increase in the incidence
of disability (National Council on Disability, 2009, p 1).
The recent reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Improvement Act in 2010 was an
important step in strengthening employment programs for target populations in the one-stop
career centers, as well as emphasizing the importance of making the Workforce Investment Act
more results-driven, rather than process-driven (Institute for a Competitive Workforce, 2010).
Listening to the voice of the customer through the use of a disability program navigator in the
one-stop career centers could greatly impact satisfaction from people with disabilities, as
research has shown customers voices improve an organizations competitive position (Stank et
al., 1997). Funding for disability program navigators began in 2002, and extended until June
2010. Unfortunately, the disability program navigator program may not have the opportunity to
continue its positive impact, because according to Secretary Hilda Solis, the administration
proposes to end targeted funding for work incentive grants (it) has accomplished its mission.
132
Workforce investment boards are able to serve workers with disabilities effectively through their
regular One-Stop Career Center operations (U.S. Dept. of Labor, 2010). An examination of the
budget plan indicated that the Office of Disability Employment Policy has requested funding for
the fiscal year of 2011 for a Disability Employment Initiative, which includes plans to build upon
the past promising practices of the Disability Program Navigator Initiative (U.S. Dept. of Labor,
2010a). Therefore, the future of the disability program navigator remains to be seen.
