- W45307758 abstract "The phrase, workplace has become the new buzzword in the field of rehabilitation and supported employment. The emphasis on natural workplace supports emerges from social and policy trends over the past two decades which have resulted in refocusing training efforts for persons with disabilities within the functional context of the work environment. Studies published during the 1970's and 80's revealed that instructional training programs provided in pre-vocational and academic settings were not very effective in promoting eventual job placement or retention (Greenleigh Associates, 1975; Wehman Kregel, & Seyfarth, 1985). These studies led to increasingly vocal demands on the part of consumers, parents, and professionals who questioned the relevance that extensive academic and pre-vocational skills instruction had to the world of work (Elder, 1984; Will, 1984). In response to this pressure, Congress enacted special education and rehabilitation legislation, transition from school-to-work and supported employment respectively. This legislation was designed to ensure that individuals with disabilities received basic skills training that was relevant to the workplace. Studies published during the last five years analyzing outcomes of the national supported employment program initiative revealed that individuals with disabilities were not being successfully integrated into competitive work environments. For example, job retention rates in supported employment were not as promising as had originally been anticipated (Edgar & Levine, 1988; Fabian 1992). Social integration of workers with disabilities also appears to be problematical in supported employment programs (Mank, 1991; Nisbet & Callahan, 1987), although some studies initially reported positive outcomes in this area (Parent, Kregel, Twardzik & Metzler, 1990; Shafer, Rice, Metzler, & Haring, 1989). The accumulation of evidence of potential problems in supported employment programs (Kregel & Wehman 1989), together with a shift in attitudes of rehabilitation professionals toward increasing reliance on business resources for hiring and training workers with disabilities, led to the growing popularity of natural workplace support approaches. The purpose of this article is to describe interventions we have devised during the first 15 months of a three-year demonstration project to develop and test strategies for using natural supports in competitive employment for workers with severe disabilities. Support in the Workplace The concept of social support as a powerful mediating force to assist people to cope with environmental stressors has attracted much attention in the mental health literature over the past several decades (Caplan 1974; Pearson 1990). For persons with disabilities, the argument for using existing workplace supports is that they represent powerful resources for mediating workplace problems. Further, proponents of natural support approaches argue that many of these resources are already available to non-disabled employees. For example, Nisbet and Hagner (1988) pointed out that employers provide career mentoring, both formally and informally, to employees on the job. Rhodes, Sandow, Mank, Buckley, and Albin (1991) suggested that company provision of employer support services are becoming increasingly available. Fabian and Luecking (1991) focused on employer-sponsored training programs as another example of employer developed workplace support. For the purposes of this study, a natural support approach refers to enhancing or linking individuals to existing social supports in the work environment that are available either informally (from co-workers and peers on the job) or formally (from supervisors and company sponsored training programs). In other supported employment approaches, this linking activity or function generally occurs after the individual has received intensive initial support from an on-site paid provider. …" @default.
