• W183701617 abstract "This study analyzed the benefits and costs of supported employment in Illinois during a four-year period (i.e., 1987 through 1990). Benefits and costs were identified and valued from three perspectives: society's, taxpayer's, and supported employees'. During this four-year period, society received a return of $.91 for every $1.00 invested; taxpayers received a return of $.77; and supported employees increased their not earnings by 42%. During the fourth year of the project, the societal return was $1.09; the return to taxpayers was $0.89; and not earnings for supported employees increased by 57%. Changes in the costs and benefits of supported employment participants during this time period indicate that the continuation of this type of analysis is critical to an understanding of the progress of supported employment and to identifying ways of improving this emerging service delivery system. Descriptors: Benefit-cost Analysis, Supported Employment, Integration, Work, Severe Disabilities. In the 1970s, supported employment was introduced to assist people with severe disabilities to obtain and maintain employment on jobs that would otherwise have been filed by persons without disabilities. The target population for supported employment are individuals who would normally be permanently placed in sheltered workshops, work activity centers, adult day care (hereafter, these three types will be referred to collectively as placements) or who would receive no adult services assistance (cf. Rusch, 1990). Supported employment consists of providing on-the-job for an extended period of time (sometimes for the duration of employment; in an integrated work setting where employees without disabilities perform similar or related work. Initially, supported employment services were usually provided by job coaches paid by an outside organization. More recently, there has been increasing emphasis placed on having extended provided by supervisors, co-workers, and relatives and friends. These are usually described as natural supports (cf Chadsey-Rusch & Johnson). Data on which to rigorously assess the effectiveness of supported employment services is being collected in Illinois. Since 1985, the Illionois Supported Employment Project at the University of Illinois has been collecting information on the actual aggregate annual earnings of supported employment participants throughout the State as well as the costs of providing these services. This paper has three purposes. The first is to identify the benefits and costs of supported employment in Illinois between 1985 and 1990, the first four years that this program operated. The second is to compare how these benefits and costs changed over the four-year period. And the third purpose is to discuss implications of the data for long-term benefits and costs of supported employment. Background Initially, many people predicted that the earnings, and therefore the benefit/cost ratio of placing people into supported employment would be far greater than if they were in an alternative placement (Conley, 1973). Several early evaluations of supported employment programs appeared to verify these predictions (Hill, Banks, Handrich, Wehman, Hill, & Shafer, 1987; Noble & Conley, 1987). However, more recent and more rigorous analyses utilizing comprehensive longitudinal data bases available in Illinois and New York (Conley & Noble 1990) indicated less promising results. The results were remarkably consistent in the two states, despite some methodological differences. In both states, the earnings of participants in supported employment were about twice as high as they would have been had they remained in an alternative placement. Unfortunately, the costs of supported employment appeared to increase by more in both states than the increase in earnings of the participants. In consequence, during the initial years of operating the program, the benefit-cost ratio in both states, on the basis of financial variables only, was less than one. …" @default.
