The Potential of Social Enterprises to Support People with Intellectual Disabilities to Overcome Barriers to Employment.

Published in O'Brion, D. & Hyland, M. (2014) "Innovation in the Social Economy", Glasnevin Publishing, Dublin. The research study demonstrated that social enterprises that have been designed specifically to support people with intellectual disabilities have more potential to support their employees to overcome the barriers to employment. The findings also warn of the dangers of establishing social enterprises which are nothing more than a modern version of the segregated sector of sheltered workshops and job enclaves.
