Abstract: Supported Employment provides assistance to people with disabilities
in competitive jobs. The supported employment model has developed beyond the
use of job coaches as primary trainers to include natural support strategies,
that is, enlisting the commitment of personnel employed at the work site to
train and assist employees with disabilities. This study used a multiple probe
design to educate and evaluate job coaches use of natural supports strategies.
Results indicate that this intervention lead to increased integration of
workers with disabilities in the workplace.
