Two groups of individuals were compared: (a) 215 supported employees who were in sheltered workshops prior to entering supported employment and (b) 215 supported employees who were not in sheltered workshops. Individuals from both groups were matched based on their primary diagnosis, secondary diagnosis (if present), and gender. Results showed that there were no differences in rates of employment between these two groups. However, individuals who participated in sheltered workshops earned significantly less (US$129.36 versus US$191.42 per week), and cost significantly more to serve (US$6,065.08 versus US$2,440.60), than their non-sheltered workshop peers. Results presented here suggest that individuals with ASD achieve better vocational outcomes if they do not participate in sheltered workshops prior to enrolling in supported employment.

The costs of services and employment outcomes achieved by adults with autism in the US / Robert Evert CIMERA in Autism, 13-3 (May 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 13-3 (May 2009) . - p.285-302 Titre : The costs of services and employment outcomes achieved by adults with autism in the US Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Robert Evert CIMERA, Auteur ; Richard J. COWAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.285-302 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults autism employment service-costs vocational rehabilitation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This article examines the cost of services and employment outcomes obtained by adults with autism within the United States vocational rehabilitation (VR) system. It found that the number of such individuals has increased by more than 121 percent from 2002 to 2006. Moreover, though adults with autism were employed at higher rates than most disability groups investigated, they tended to work far fewer hours and earn less in wages per week. The study also found that adults with autism were among the most costly individuals to serve.
