This paper reports on Minnesota's efforts to implement supported employment projects, and reports on community-based vocational activities provided by day training and habilitation centers in 1986. A survey was conducted of 96 providers of adult services throughout the state of Minnesota. Seventy-eight returned completed surveys with information on 3,783 persons, of which 799 were involved in community-based employment. The remaining 18 programs provided agency-wide summary data, but not individual data. The survey centered around the following research topics: (1) number and characteristics of persons in community-based vocational activities and supported employment; (2) average hours worked, the average hourly wage, and the degree of supervision; (3) integration with persons who are not disabled; (4) growth in areas such as independence and productivity; (5) type of work, and differences in wages earned and hours worked; (6) emerging patterns in the area of transitional services; and (7) community-based vocational activities in non-metropolitan areas. Definitions of terminology and two references are included. (JDD)
