Parsons, Marsha B.; Reid, Dennis H.; Green, Carolyn W.; Browning, Leah B.

Research in Developmental Disabilities, v22 n2 p151-64 Mar-Apr 2001

A study evaluated an off-site/on-site program for reducing job coach assistance provided for three adults with severe multiple disabilities in a part-time community job. On-the-job assistance was reduced, while the individuals received more traditional day services when not at work. No adverse effects on productivity were observed. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
