The state-federal vocational rehabilitation (VR) program has played an important role in increasing the employment opportunities of Americans with disabilities through the provision of services and supports designed to lead to high-quality employment, independence, self-sufficiency, and full integration into the community. OBJECTIVE: The Vocational Rehabilitation Technical Assistance Center for Quality Employment (VRTAC–QE) was designed to bring together the broad range of existing quality employment strategies and supporting practices, identify and implement new ones, and incorporate them into an integrated training and technical assistance plan, consistent with the circumstances and priorities of each State VR agency that requests technical assistance. METHOD: In the present paper, we present the results of a needs assessment survey conducted among State VR rehabilitation counselors and professionals in cooperating rehabilitation agencies and services. RESULTS: The purpose of the present study was to determine technical assistance and training needs of state VR counselors in four practice domains: (a) outreach services, (b) pre-employment transition services, (c) vocational rehabilitation services, and (d) employment services. CONCLUSION: Implications and future directions are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":47208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation","volume":"12 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72623214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OBJECTIVE: This study examined the effect of supported employment interventions on the employment outcomes of transition-age youth and young adults with intellectual disabilities served by state vocational rehabilitation agencies using a propensity score matching (PSM) approach. METHODS: We conducted a non-experimental causal comparative study with PSM to create a treatment (n = 2162) and a comparison group (n = 2191) using the Rehabilitation Services Administration Case Service Report database (Program Year 2018). Chi-square and t-test were used to analyze the differences between the treatment and control groups on employment outcomes, hourly wage and hours worked per week. RESULTS: Results demonstrated that transition-age youth and young adults with intellectual disabilities who received supported employment were more likely to achieve CIE, earn higher wages, and work longer hours weekly than were the control group. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that supported employment is an effective service for enhancing the vocational rehabilitation outcomes of transition-age youth and young adults with intellectual disabilities and provides valuable information for policy makers, health care providers, rehabilitation counselors, and educators.","PeriodicalId":47208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89734044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, ongoing, there are calls for rehabilitation practitioners to understand, utilize, and implement evidence-based practices (EBP) with fidelity to improve rehabilitation outcomes, such as competitive integrated employment. Customized employment (CE) emerged as a promising practice that promotes improved employment outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this manuscript is to examine published literature on CE and to make recommendations on the best methods for establishing CE as an evidence-based practice. METHOD: We included 10 articles classified as “data-based” articles from a review of the literature on CE conducted by Riesen et al. We also conducted an electronic search of articles on CE published between 2015 and 2021. RESULTS: Existing CE research literature consists predominately of descriptive studies and consists primarily of three types including model description and project evaluation, perceptions of CE, and essential structure and competency. These studies suggest that CE produces quality employment outcomes for people with disabilities. CONCLUSION: While research on CE has expanded, future research on CE should use more robust indicators including (a) quality descriptions of the participants, (b) quality descriptions of settings and conditions, (c) descriptions of the independent variables, (d) descriptions of fidelity to procedures, and (e) quality descriptions of social validity measures. Researchers should also focus on using correlational research to establish Customized employment as an evidence-based practice.","PeriodicalId":47208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85792281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

METHODS: We conducted individual and focus group interviews with 74 special educators, adult agency providers, school district leaders, family members of youth with severe disabilities, and local employers. RESULTS: Participants discussed 36 facilitators spanning nine major categories: collaboration, training and information, attitudes and mindsets, supports for youth, youth work experiences, knowledge and skill instruction, staffing, individualization, and transportation. We identified similarities and differences in the factors emphasized by each of the five stakeholder groups.

However, there is a disconnect between positive concepts and vocational rehabilitation, rendering meaning and wellbeing rarely explored in vocational rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE: We assume higher meaning and wellbeing exists among individuals engaged in peer helping work-roles (meaningful role) as compared to non-helping work-roles. We examine this and additional questions to learn about relationships between positive concepts and vocational work-roles illuminating mental health recovery. METHODS: 114 individuals with psychiatric disabilities (ages 20-70) from various vocational-services participated. Sixty-nine worked in peer-helping roles (i.e. consumer-providers/peer-supporters) and 45 engaged in non-helping work-roles (vendors/clerical work, etc.). Participants filled in the Meaning in Life and Work-related Flow (assessing wellbeing at work) scales. Additionally, participants in peer-helping work-roles filled a peer-developed scale estimating their salience of peer-role characteristics. RESULTS: Individuals in peer-helping work-roles had significantly higher meaning in life levels than those in non-helping roles. Having meaning in life also predicted higher work-related flow across the sample. Finally, meaning in life positively mediated relations between salience of peer-role characteristics and work-related flow experiences. CONCLUSION: Researching meaning and wellbeing can broaden theoretical understanding and bear practical implications for enhancing vocational work-role fit and recovery.","PeriodicalId":47208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82202435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These interests can continue through adulthood. OBJECTIVE: We conducted this study to develop a better understanding of the relation between SIAs and employment and mental health outcomes of adults with ASD. METHODS: Qualitative and quantitative analyses were used to examine the data with an emphasis on bringing autistic voices to the forefront of the discussion. Seventy-two adults with ASD, ages 18–53, completed an online survey describing their SIA engagement, employment status, and current mental health measured by two standardized assessments. Respondents provided open-ended responses describing their SIA and beliefs regarding SIAs broadly. RESULTS: Open-ended responses indicated adults with ASD have highly diverse SIAs that are rarely utilized in their employment experiences. Hierarchical regressions revealed SIA-related bullying was associated with higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. SIA employment was associated with depression such that those who were not currently employed in their SIA reported higher levels of depression. Respondents without support from people in their life related to their SIA reported higher levels of stress. CONCLUSION: SIAs are extremely important in the lives of autistic adults and should be utilized to enhance their employment experiences and overall well-being. Family members, adult service providers, and educational professionals should support and encourage SIAs.","PeriodicalId":47208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation","volume":"461 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82976061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The program has been delivered by qualified rehabilitation counsellors to hospital patients with newly acquired SCI since 2016. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and consumer perspective of the Back2Work EIVR Program. METHODS: The program was evaluated using a mixed-methods, longitudinal, prospective design. RESULTS: Data analysis revealed a return to work rate (RTW) of 43% by 12 months post-discharge. Qualitative data indicated positive participant experiences with the program, emphasising the hopefulness brought about by early vocational support. CONCLUSIONS: The Back2Work program has a positive impact on participants’ RTW outcomes, through the provision of early specialist vocational rehabilitation interventions. This includes building a positive culture around RTW after SCI and engagement with employers to maximise the likelihood of timely and sustainable re-employment. The RTW outcomes and emergent themes will help inform service development in the field of early vocational rehabilitation after SCI.","PeriodicalId":47208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88288828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the previous studies, the role of disability acceptance as a buffer to prevent the negative impact of stigma in the workplace is hypothesized. OBJECTIVE: This study examined the moderating effect of disability acceptance on the negative effects of disability stigma on job satisfaction of people with disabilities. METHODS: 164 participants working at the time of the survey completed questionnaires measuring disability stigma, disability acceptance, and job satisfaction. The associations among the three variables were examined using simple linear regression analyses. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was conducted to identify the moderating effect of disability acceptance after controlling disability type. RESULTS: Disability stigma (β=–0.17, p < 0.05) and disability acceptance (β=0.18, p < 0.05) were significantly associated with job satisfaction respectively. In the final model, disability acceptance moderated the relationship between disability stigma and job satisfaction (β=–0.16, p < 0.05). Specifically, the impacts of disability stigma on job satisfaction for participants with higher disability acceptance differed from those with lower acceptance. CONCLUSION: The current research suggests that disability acceptance plays a critical role for people with disabilities to cope with the negative impact of disability stigma. This result implies that disability acceptance should be an important focus of intervention to increase job satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":47208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90532171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
