VR Employment Outcomes of Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Decade in the Making
Alverson, Charlotte Y.; Yamamoto, Scott H.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v48 n1 p151-162 Jan 2018
This study utilized hierarchical linear modeling analysis of a 10-year extant dataset from Rehabilitation Services Administration to investigate significant predictors of employment outcomes for vocational rehabilitation (VR) clients with autism. Predictor variables were gender, ethnicity, attained education level, IEP status in high school, secondary disability status, and total number of VR services. Competitive employment was the criterion variable. Only one predictor variable, Total Number of VR Services, was significant across all 10 years. IEP status in high school was not significant in any year. The remaining predictors were significant in one or more years. Further research and implications for researchers and practitioners are included.
