“…A number of issues are generating the perception of underachievement of the supported employment initiative. Questionrrhle Quality of Integration and Employment Outcomes Recent reports challenge the quality of the social integration and wages that result from supported employment (Bloom, 1993;Hagner, 1992;Yan, Mank, Sandow, Rhodes, & Olson, 1993). Clearly, supported employment outcomes are superior to the outcomes of activity centers, day treatment centers, and sheltered workshops (e.g., Albin, & Rhodes, 1993;Bellamy, Rhodes, Mank, & Albin, 1988;McGaughey et al, 1993;Moon, Inge, Wehman, Brooke, & Barcus, 1990).…”

“…Over-Reliance on Social Services, Under-Relicrnce on Community Successes in supported employment in the recent past have emphasized total inclusion and ownership of the success of individuals by their employers and those around them (e.g., Hagner & Dileo, 1993;Sandow & Olson, 1991;Yan et al, 1993). Supported employment services function in an external role of facilitation and problem solving rather than direct -provision of support to individuals.…”

A review of the status of the national supported employment initiative shows that thousands of individuals are benefiting from the initiative and that supported employment is offered by community programs in every state in the nation. Yet despite these successes, access to supported employment is severely limited, the quality of the outcomes is challenged, and the investment in change appears to be dwindling. If supported employment for persons with severe disabilities is to expand and improve to meet the growing demand, then communities and government alike must analyze both the successes and the problems of the supported employment initiative and create a new path to change. The purpose of this paper is to review the status of the supported employment initiative, explore the perception of its underachievement, and provide recommendations for recapturing the momentum of the initiative.Supported employment is no longer a new initiative; more than a decade has passed since its inception. Thousands of individuals have jobs in the community with ongoing support. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested.

“…No entanto, apesar dos benefícios identificados para o emprego apoiado que ajudam a amortecer estes problemas, ainda existem muitos desafios relacionados com a integração, na medida em que na maioria dos programas, os técnicos ainda fornecem apoio directo ao trabalhador na empresa (Hagner, Butterworth, & Keith, 1995) e a investigação indica que esse suporte não é facilitador da integração (Jenaro et al, 2002) e pode mesmo contribuir para o isolamento do trabalhador (Hughes, Rush, Wilson, & Heal 1995;Nisbet & Hagner, 1988;Rogan, Hagner, & Murphy, 1993;Sylvestre & Gottlieb, 1992;Yan, Mank, Sandow, Rhodes, & Olson, 1993). Segundo Mank, Cioffi, e Yovanoff (1999, quanto mais comum e natural for o processo de obtenção do emprego o horário de trabalho e outras condições laborais, melhor será o ajustamento profissional e integração na empresa.…”

O objectivo deste artigo é possibilitar uma reflexão sobre os principais contributos do emprego apoiado para a integração das pessoas com doença mental grave. Recorreu-se a uma revisão da literatura com o intuito de explorar os contributos deste modelo. Neste âmbito, analisámos a evolução do modelo de emprego apoiado, as principais evidências científicas e dois conceitos adicionais. O primeiro, a educação apoiada que facilita o acesso e o sucesso do regresso à universidade, fortalecendo o emprego mais qualificado e a progressão na carreira. E o segundo, o desenvolvimento de suportes naturais que fortaleçam o papel social e o valor para o mercado de trabalho, diminuindo a dependência de suportes profissionais. Este artigo sublinha o potencial contributo da educação apoiada e dos suportes naturais para o futuro do emprego apoiado.

“…Currently available data accurately describe social interactions in the workplace, but the ability to measure more complex constructs such as social support or social networks is less well developed (Chadsey-Rusch, Gonzalez, Tines, & Johnson, 1989; Storey & Horner, 1991; Yan, Mank, & Sandow, 1993). Only limited tools are available to assess workplace culture or job design (Parent, Kregel, & Wehman, 1992), and there is a need to specify and measure interventions used by employment specialists to facilitate natural supports and social inclusion.…”

Although there is a growing consensus that including natural supports in the employment process is an important goal, there is considerable debate about the definition and appropriate role of these supports. This manuscript clarifies and extends current definitions of natural supports and proposes a working model to guide future research and practice. Primary emphasis is placed on natural supports as a desired outcome of successful employment rather than a distinct model for support and as a contributing factor to higher level outcomes such as quality of life. From both a researcher's and a practitioner's perspective there is a need to shift emphasis from competing models of employment support to developing a better understanding of the relationship between specific job coach interventions and the desired outcome of effective natural support.DESCRIPTORS: competitive employment, employment, instructional strategies, job placement, research design, vocational training An important recent development in employment services for individuals with severe disabilities has
