  • Title: But ... is it really work? Social validity of employment training for persons with very severe disabilities.
    Author: Black JW, Meyer LH.
    Journal: Am J Ment Retard; 1992 Mar; 96(5):463-74. PubMed ID: 1532892.
    Abstract:
    The subjective judgments of "significant others" toward employment training for persons with very severe disabilities were investigated. Six respondent groups (n = 188) rated videotape samples of employment training of 4 students with mild to profound disabilities. Respondent ratings were analyzed for group by student disability level effects. Results indicated that all respondent groups had more positive evaluations of those students with mild versus severe to profound disabilities, although mean ratings at all levels of disability tended to be positive. A sizable percentage of the total sample expressed positive judgments of employment for even students with the most severe disabilities.
