Abstract
One hundred and fourteen individuals with mental retardation and learning disabilities living in the New York metropolitan area who entered an employment program were monitored over a two year period. The benefits of using a research based program model to improve service delivery are discussed in terms of pre-placement training, job matching, job placement, and job supports.
