  • Title: Interaction of persons with severe mental retardation and their nondisabled co-workers in integrated work settings.
    Author: Rusch FR, Wilson PG, Hughes C, Heal LW.
    Journal: Behav Modif; 1995 Jan; 19(1):59-77. PubMed ID: 7880159.
    Abstract:
    This investigation matched 23 workers with severe mental retardation to 23 workers without disabilities by job type and minimal duration of employment (at least 6 months) to determine if co-worker relations differed between the two groups of employees. Results indicated that, compared to workers with severe mental retardation, nondisabled workers were more likely to receive information, to receive training, and to interact as friends outside the workplace.
