View Award Abstract

Virginia Commonwealth University proposes to establish a Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (VCU RRTC) on Employment of People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Vanderbilt University, and Kent State University. The cornerstone of this RRTC will be a series of six studies that examine the critical variables that have the potential to improve competitive integrated employment (CIE) outcomes for individuals with IDD. We will empirically study how: 1) a major corporation implements a demand side approach to hiring workers with IDD, 2) young adults from minorities with IDD acquire technology skills to enable them to access careers in IT fields, 3) college students with ASD can use cognitive technology to impact their academic and employment outcomes, 4) parent intervention impacts parent expectations and their sons and daughters CIE outcomes; and 5) training employment specialists using a competency based curriculum can improved CIE outcomes. VCU RRTC will form an Advisory Committee that will be made-up exclusively of people with IDD who will assist in all stages of research and knowledge translation activities. Key activities will include: 1) establishing a National Resource Center for individuals with IDD and their families and 2) conducting a variety of customized dissemination and knowledge transfer activities. The new knowledge generated from this RRTC's research will improve the CIE outcomes for individuals with IDD and enhance rehabilitation professionals and other stakeholders' capacity to provide employment opportunities and supports.
