Abstract: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) is one of the fastest growing minority groups in the country. Limited research with this ethnic minority, however, provides a major barrier for Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) practitioners to establish culturally appropriate policies and practices in the VR field. A chi-square test was conducted to investigate the statistical difference of closure types between AAPI and White Americans with disabilities who were recorded in the RSA-911 database for the fiscal year 1999–2000 as having closed for VR services. AAPI with disabilities were less likely to be "accepted" and, of those who were accepted, AAPI had less "successful closure" than White Americans in the VR process. The test results revealed statistically significant disparity in closure types between the two groups at the 0.05 level. Study results and limitations were discussed. Suggestions for future research and implications for VR service improvement were presented.
