This book was released on 2018 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this dissertation was to examine the employment outcomes for adult vocational rehabilitation clients with deaf-blindness. The researcher examined the relationships between case service provisions (any service provided during the entire client case, e.g., vocational guidance and counseling, job-placement assistance, rehabilitation technology) and competitive employment outcomes for individuals with deaf-blindness. The sample was obtained from Rehabilitation Services Administration Case Service Report (RSA911) data, and it included 135 cases of those with deaf-blindness identified as their primary or secondary disability whose case was closed during Fiscal Year 2016. The independent variables consisted of 14 vocational rehabilitation case service variables ((a) vocational rehabilitation counseling and guidance, (b) college or university training, (c) occupational or vocational training, (d) on-the-job training, (e) basic academic remedial or literacy training, (f) job-readiness training, (g) disability-related augmentative skills training, (h) miscellaneous training, (i) job-search assistance, (j) job-placement assistance, (k) transportation, (l) maintenance, (m) rehabilitation technology, and (n) reader services). The dependent variable was attainment of competitive employment. The results indicated that three vocational rehabilitation case service variables were found to be associated with clients with deaf-blindness obtaining competitive employment. Implications for improving employment outcomes for clients with deaf-blindness include supporting post-secondary educational attainment opportunities, providing job-placement services, and providing job search-related services. Implications for case services provided by vocational rehabilitation agencies are also discussed.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state-federal vocational rehabilitation system helps people with disabilities obtain and maintain employment in their communities. Although some people with traumatic brain injury return to work with minor adjustments, high proportions do not return to former employment or find work after their injuries. This study examined the association of types and degree of limitations to functional capacities, and competitive employment outcomes; and selected VR services, and competitive employment, after controlling for demographic variables. The degree of limitation across all areas of functional capacity, used by VR counselors to determine severity of disability and priority for services, were not found to be significantly related to competitive employment among customers with TBI.

Download or read book An Investigation of the Variables Related to Competitive Employment and Earnings of Vocational Rehabilitation Consumers with Blindness Or Visual Impairments written by Brandi Lynn Darensbourg and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals with blindness or visual impairments as a major cause of disability are at an extreme disadvantage to obtain and maintain employment and thus may seek the assistance of vocational rehabilitation counselors. Information on these individuals, encompassing demographics, disability, public support, and vocational rehabilitation services, is collected by the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and becomes a part of the RSA-911 data file. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among demographics, service provisions, competitive employment, and earnings of vocational rehabilitation consumers with blindness or visual impairments. Using a sample of 3,610 cases from the RSA-911 data file from Fiscal Year 2006, logistic regression was utilized to examine the relationships among 20 consumer demographic and 14 case service variables related to competitive employment outcomes. With a sample of 2,320 cases, multiple regression was used to examine which 20 consumer demographic and 14 case service variables predicted weekly earnings at closure for those consumers with competitive employment outcomes. Results from the logistic regression indicated the most important consumer demographic predictors of competitive employment were age, gender, receipt of Medicaid, severity of vision loss, source of referral, and weekly earnings at application. Specifically, those aged 36 or younger who were self-referred, male, had lesser severity of vision loss, and did not receive Medicaid were more likely to find competitive employment. Among case service variables, receiving job-placement assistance and maintenance services were related to competitive employment; receipt of disability-related augmentative skills training and miscellaneous training had a negative impact. Multiple regression revealed that the consumer demographics of gender, higher level of education at closure, receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and weekly earnings at application were important predictors of weekly earnings at closure. Disability-related augmentative skills training was the only case service related to weekly earnings, with a negative impact. Based on these findings, males with earnings at application who did not receive disability-related augmentative skills training were most likely to reach competitive employment outcomes and to have higher earning potential at closure. Limitations of the study as well as implications for practice and future research are discussed.

Download or read book Models that Predict Competitive Employment Outcomes in the United States Federal State Vocational Rehabilitation Program for Clients who are Blind and Clients with Other Disabilities written by Paula R. Warren-Peace and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of clients in the Federal/State Vocational Rehabilitation program (VR) have been successful in achieving competitive employment in recent years. However, one disability group - clients who are legally blind - has traditionally lagged and currently lags behind in obtaining similar proportions of competitive employment outcomes as their counterparts in the VR system. In this study, the 2007 RSA 911 data were used to explore potential explanations for the discrepancy between outcomes for clients who are legally blind and clients with other disabilities. Similar to previous studies, frequency analyses confirmed that clients who are legally blind are far less likely to obtain a competitive employment outcome in the VR program. Although the most recent data reveals that 62.4% of clients who are legally blind attained a competitive outcome in 2007, 96.6% of clients with other disabilities achieved the same outcome. Backwards stepwise logistic regression generated two models yielding likelihoods of competitive employment for people who are blind and people with other disabilities, respectively. The model that predicts competitive closure for clients who are blind was generally similar to the model that predicts competitive closure for clients with other disabilities. Most of the service variables that predicted competitive outcomes for clients with other disabilities also predicted competitive outcomes for clients who are legally blind. However, the rates with which clients who are legally blind received these services were lower when compared to clients with other disabilities. One difference between the two models was that the variables predictive of competitive employment in both models often had larger odds ratios for clients who are legally blind. The models generated in this study will hopefully provide VR professionals with information that will contribute to helping clients who are legally blind achieve higher percentages of competitive employment outcomes.
