The Impact of Social Integration Interventions and Job Coaches in Work Settings.
Chadsey, Janis G.; Linneman, Dan; Rusch, Frank R.; Cimera, Robert E.
Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v32 n4 p281-92 Dec 1997
A study investigated effects of two intervention strategies (contextual and coworker) on the social interactions and integration with peers of five workers with mental retardation. Neither intervention had a significant impact on the frequency of interactions; however, it appeared that the presence of a job coach suppressed interaction rates. (Author/CR)
