Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the types of vocational rehabilitation services provided to individuals with psychiatric disabilities through the federal-state vocational rehabilitation program and the relationship of these services to employment outcome. With the cooperation and support of the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), the data for this study consisted of consumers with psychiatric disabilities who received services during federal fiscal year 2002 (n = 79,967). In addition, this study evaluated and described the demographic variables that were involved in successful employment outcome such as gender, race/ethnicity, age, diagnosis, significant disability, years of education, and disability benefits. To ensure that the regression model had both generalizability and transferability to the population and situations for which it was intended, model validation was accomplished by splitting the sample approximately in half, resulting in a top (n = 40,000) and bottom sample (n = 39,967). Correlational analyses and chi-square analyses were used to assess the bivariate relationship between the dependent variables (program closure status) and each of the predictor variables to identify high intercorrelations and assist in determining which variables were entered into the logistic regression model. The best fit model was identified and interpreted based on the top and bottom halves of data. Neither race/ethnicity nor gender were predictors of employment outcome and after being force entered into the initial logistic regression model, race/ethnicity was dropped in the final model. However, job placement services, on-the-job services, job search assistance and other support services were somewhat predictive of a positive employment outcome for individuals with psychiatric disabilities. This may be due in part to the use of these services as a conduit toward achieving competitive employment, thus consumers receiving such services would be closer to achieving employment. In contrast, recipients of disability benefits, most especially individuals receiving SSI and SSDI, were the least likely to have an employment outcome after receiving services. Likewise, significant disability was also associated with fewer closures with employment outcomes. Many of the results of this study mirrored the existing literature on individuals with psychiatric disabilities, suggesting that additional research is needed to clarify the conflicting results of many studies. Model limitations and recommendations for further research are suggested.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to descriptively explore transition-aged youth in state vocational rehabilitation (VR) and to determine if predictor variables could be identified for successful employment outcomes. In addition, public assistance and supported employment services were also analyzed for predictive value. The participants of this study included 3,215 vocational rehabilitation consumers who were referred prior to age 23 and were closed in fiscal year 2006 after a rehabilitation plan was initiated. At closure, more than half the participants were closed successfully in competitive employment. The majority were working in service, clerical and sales, or professional/technical/managerial positions after receiving VR services focused on understanding the consumer's needs and creating appropriate plans (guidance and assessment), preparing for a job (college and miscellaneous training), obtaining a job (job search, placement, transportation) and then retaining employment (on the job supports). In addition, Supplemental Security Income recipients and consumers receiving non-Title IV funded supported employment services were less likely to be employed at case closure. Implications for transition and rehabilitation practice include: the necessity of specific training for VR counselors working with the transition population; the higher rate of success through services such as diagnostics, vocational guidance, further training, and placement; and more attention to populations who are at risk or may be more effectively served in appropriate group settings such as those with cognitive or emotional disorders.
