Abstract | Benefit-cost analysis was used in this study to compare the relative value of rehabilitation for the culturally disadvantaged to that of the medically disabled. The Wood County Project, which was designed to demonstrate the potential benefits of extending services to all handicapped persons, was evaluated in terms of the impact on clients, the agency, and the community. The study demonstrated the feasibility of applying benefit-cost analysis to an operating rehabilitation agency. The results indicate that it would be economically advantageous to the nation to expand vocational rehabilitation services vertically, to cover all presently eligible handicapped persons who are not receiving services due to inadequate funding, and horizontally, to include the culturally disadvantaged.
