Perceptions of Aversiveness by Supported Employment Supervisors and Job Coaches.

Helms, Barbara J.; Moore, Stephen C.

Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v28 n3 p212-19 Sep 1993

A survey administered to 91 supported employment job coaches and 86 supervisors revealed that confusion exists over what constitutes an aversive intervention versus a nonaversive intervention for persons with disabilities. When asked to rate 20 vignettes describing interventions, respondents' ratings ranged from nonaversive to severely aversive on 17 of the vignettes for both groups. (Author/JDD)
