Justin Mark Hideaki Salisbury is a graduate student in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. His research agenda is guided by the pressing needs expressed by the organized blind, especially when those needs relate to potential policy problems and solutions. One of his major research areas is disability employment. He is interested in the parts of disability inclusion that reach beyond mere compliance with legal accessibility mandates, as well as how multiple oppressive systems intersect with the education and rehabilitation of the blind. Vocational rehabilitation is an integral part of workforce development because it actively supports disabled people in accessing employment by providing customized training, job coaching, and other key services to address their specific needs, allowing them to contribute to the workforce and reach their full potential.
