The task of providing employment opportunities for students and adults with an intellectual disability is a difficult one. One of the more promising approaches is based on the supported competitive employment programs developed in the United States, particularly at the University of Washington (Rusch, 1986). In this section outlines of two Australian programs are provided as examples of the supported competitive employment approach. Full reports of both programs were provided in papers delivered at the 1987 AASE National Conference in Melbourne, by Phil Tuckerman and Jennifer Green.
