The option of self-directed employment does exist and, according to a review of both social supports and business supports, can be practically applied. Employment efforts that intelligently combine business support systems with personal social support systems more typical for people with severe disabilities can open the option of self-employment and self-directed employment for this group. Future exploration and testing of methods is also discussed.
