Abstract: This study examined differences in closure status, occupational placements, weekly earnings, hours worked each week, expenditures, and time in rehabilitation for persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) based on the provision of supported employment services. Participant race, education level, age, marital status, gender, prior work experience, and disability severity were controlled for all dependent variables but occupational placements. Participants were 1,073 public vocational rehabilitation clients with TBI whose cases were closed in the Southeastern United States. Seventy eight participants received supported employment services during the vocational rehabilitation process. Significant differences were found in closure status when comparing consumers who received supported employment services to those who did not. Most competitively employed participants in both groups were working in miscellaneous occupations at case closure. For competitively employed consumers, significant differences were found in weekly earnings, hours worked per week, and expenditures when comparing the two groups.
