An investigation was conducted in January, 1975, to explore the attitudes and practices of counselors in private employment agencies in Dallas, Texas, toward the physically handicapped person in a wheelchair applying for the position of receptionist-typist. The finding of significant discrimination suggests that continuing attention should be given by the rehabilitation field toward removing architectural barriers, modifying attitudinal resistance on the part of employers, attacking the myth of increased costs, and exploring more ways of locating those companies willing to hire the handicapped.
