Mental Retardation, v40 n1 p30-40 Feb 2002
A study investigated the circumstances and views of 16 individuals 8 years after participation in one agency's conversion from a sheltered workshop to an exclusively community employment service. Most participants associated the agency's changeover with long-term, personal benefits, including community employment opportunities, increased income, expanded social relationships, and heightened self-determination.
