Abstract: Despite the fact that focus groups can meet many program assessment needs, this technique has been underused in rehabilitation program evaluation. To underscore its potential utility, this article will highlight a series of focus groups conducted in a vocational training and rehabilita tion setting. A total of 70 clients participated in eight focus groups intended to identify clients' perceptions of program strengths and weaknesses. After a brief summary of results, particular attention will be given to discussing the advantages of using a social science model applied to focus groups and how empowerment of clients can be a central theme in such efforts. Limitations of this technique are also noted.
