A study evaluated a pre-work assessment for predicting task preferences during supported work with an individual with profound mental retardation as well as deafness and blindness. Results of the workers' choices indicate the pre-work assessment predicted tasks that the worker preferred to perform during his routine job. (Author/CR)

A Comparison of Supported Work versus Center-Based Program Services on Selected Outcomes for Individuals with Multiple Severe Disabilities.
Reid, Dennis H.; Green, Carolyn W.; Parsons, Marsha B. – Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps, 1998
Effects of supported work versus center-based program services were evaluated with four adults with multiple severe disabilities. Results found most participants displayed more alert and active behavior and were involved in more purposeful activity in supported work than in center-based programs. Differences in expectations and staff competence…
