“…The Social Role Valorization model articulates assumptions that all people thrive when employed, and supported employment is a service that facilitates people with the most significant disabilities into a valued role (Tyree, Kendrick, & Block, 2011). Based on the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), supported employment is competitive employment in an integrated setting with ongoing support services for individuals with the most significant disabilities (Federal Register, 2012).…”

“…Because of the nature and severity of some individuals' disabilities, they may need intensive and extended support services to work successfully. The potential for supported employment to be the methodology to move people, once excluded, to the valued role of employee cannot be overstated (Tyree, Kendrick, & Block, 2011).…”

“…Work helps people previously excluded from society to have the opportunity for a typical life, and that such a life can be obtained in the context of people being in valued social roles within their communities, such as employee (Lemay, 2006;Tyree, Kendrick, & Block, 2011).…”

“…In addition, formal SRV theory is based on an understanding that all people, and especially people with the most significant disabilities, have vastly more growth potential that can be actualized when an individualized or customized approach is utilized to ensure the talents and strengths of the person are considered. Tyree, Kendrick, and Block (2011) recognized that competency development is natural; personal competency is highly culturally valued; the more competent an individual is the more accepting society will be of any negatively valued differences; and competencies are necessary in order to perform valued roles.…”

The Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model of Supported Employment (SE) is an evidence-based practice that leads to successful employment outcomes for people with serious mental illness. Customized Employment (CE) represents the evolution of supported employment as a strategy to also facilitate employment outcomes for people with the most significant disabilities. Interagency Collaboration is another strategy that facilitates successful employment outcomes for people with the most significant disabilities as demonstrated by research. The literature indicates that supported employment (IPS and CE) services along with interagency collaboration are practices that increase the employment outcomes for individuals with the most significant disabilities. However, the practical application and implementation of these three services/practices is limited in the Southern region of the United States. This study looked at the perceptions held by and practices used by mental health and other rehabilitation professionals regarding the employment of individuals with serious mental illness at two sites in Alabama.Results of this study provide a rich description of the sample as well as the participants' knowledge of IPS. A statistically significant association was identified for acceptance, support and value of an employment specialist among mental health team members, and a statistically significant relationship between responses for perceptions and practices of mental health professionals related to the employment of people with serious mental illness.iii Acknowledgements I wish to acknowledge and express my sincere gratitude to my committee members -

“…What's more, employment may contribute to personal identity and serve as a means to connect with others, develop oneself and feel useful (Jahoda, 1981;Judge & Klinger, 2008). For people, with intellectual disabilities employment may be even more important as it provides access to a socially valued role and opportunities for social integration (Hall, 2009;Lysaght, Cobigie, & Hamilton, 2012;Novak, Rogan, & Mank, 2011;Tyree, Kendrick, & Block, 2011). Considering the significance of work in people's lives, awareness for their job satisfaction is essential.…”

Paying attention to job satisfaction of people with intellectual disabilities, in either integrated or sheltered employment, is important, to increase individual as well as organizational functioning and well‐being. Nevertheless, little is known about job satisfaction of employees with intellectual disabilities and the factors increasing or hindering this. The aim of this study was to explore existing research evidence regarding job satisfaction of people with intellectual disabilities in integrated and sheltered employment settings, and its associated factors. A systematic and comprehensive literature search revealed 13 relevant studies that were examined. Results indicated that people with intellectual disabilities in integrated employment and sheltered employment generally report satisfaction with their jobs. Satisfaction levels appear to be higher in integrated employment. Furthermore it was found that characteristics of the employee and of the employment setting were associated with job satisfaction, as well as social relations, support, and the fit between the employees’ needs and the work environment. Advancements can be made with respect to policy and practice of employment of people with intellectual disabilities. To improve their job satisfaction we suggest an integrative approach, taking into account that job satisfaction is an interplay between personal, situational, and social‐cognitive characteristics. This is reflected in current theoretical frameworks in general job satisfaction literature. Future research on job satisfaction of people with intellectual disabilities could profit from developments in general job satisfaction literature and in addition take account of factors particularly relevant to people with intellectual disabilities, the possible impact of comparison processes, and the development of sound measurement methods. Finally, we advocate for greater insight and involvement of people with intellectual disabilities in career related matters, to enhance their self‐determination and motivation and increase satisfaction.

This study identified situations where communication was a barrier to employment for adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Informant interviewees were six college graduates with ASD who have been employed for one year. Following the qualitative inductive analysis, five communication-related themes emerged: (1) job interviewing success, (2) negotiating co-worker interactions, (3) supervisory interactions, instruction, and feedback, (4) handling customer intercommunication, and (5) communication-oriented coping strategies. Participants were relatively more successful in communication coping strategies and supervisory interaction compared to difficulties with job interviewing and co-worker interactions. Vocational rehabilitation counsellors assisting clients with ASD should prioritize job interview communication skills and social skill education specific to appropriate interactions with co-workers and supervisors utilizing role play, social skill training, and job coaching.
