The purpose of this study was to develop and test an instrument that measures the quality of job placements of State-Federal Vocational Rehabilitation program consumers. A four part operational definition of quality placement was developed that included: (1) income and satisfaction with salary; (2) benefits provided, and consumer satisfaction with benefits; (3) potential for training opportunities and career development; and (4) satisfaction with job and personal life after placement. The “Rehabilitation Success Survey” was developed by a panel of rehabilitation professionals and consumers to measure these 4 components of placement quality. The instrument was piloted in one state, revised, and then administered in a second state. Results indicated that broadening the definition of successful placement beyond status code 26 closure, provides a more comprehensive picture of the impact of employment and rehabilitation services on consumers' lives.
