Wehman, Paul; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v22 n4 p395-405 Win 1989

Five adults with severe traumatic brain injury, unable to gain or maintain jobs, were individually placed in competitive supported employment. Wages ranged from $4.25 to $5.00 per hour with an average of 339 hours of employment specialist intervention time required per case. Long-term job retention results were disappointing. (Author/JDD)
