Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v27 n1 p28-38 Mar 1992

This study examined the social interactions and activities of 15 workers with mental retardation employed in supported competitive employment positions and 15 co-workers. Although the supported employees and co-workers did not differ in the total number of interactions, co-workers interacted more frequently during breaktime whereas supported employees engaged in more frequent inappropriate interactions.
