Abstract | To learn about whether young adults with intellectual disabilities in the vocational rehabilitation (VR) program are getting work experience, the authors of this Data Note examined the age at application of people with intellectual disabilities who exited the VR program in 2012. Findings show the largest age group at application was people who were age 18 (n=6,400). This is good news because it shows that the VR program has a focus on young adults. However, findings also showed that seeking VR services at a young age did not necessarily result in reporting an employment closure at an earlier age. For example, people who were 14 years old at application took 6.2 years to exit VR with employment, compared to only about 1.6 years for people age 21 or older. (ERIC). |
