  • Title: Competitive employment training for mentally retarded adults: the supported work model.
    Author: Krauss MW, MacEachron AE.
    Journal: Am J Ment Defic; 1982 May; 86(6):650-3. PubMed ID: 7102740.
    Abstract:
    The supported work model designed to train mentally retarded persons for competitive employment, was initiated as a pilot program in 1979. The placement rate was 50 percent. In order to investigate the predictors of placement, we conducted an empirical analysis using the theory of work adjustment perspective. Results indicated that the participant's work behavior and job skills, ability to meet the requirements of the jobs, and employment reinforcements were predictors of competitive placement.
