Abstract
This study describes patterns of co-worker involvement among 264 supported employees in relation to level of disability versus placement approach (i.e., individual, clustered, crew). Results indicated that supported employees extensively associate with their nonhandicapped co-workers, followed by co-workers evaluating and training these same supported employees. Supported employees who were members of mobile work crews, however, experienced far less co-worker involvement than their colleagues who were employed in clustered or individual placements. Differences in levels of co-worker involvement provided were observed to relate less to level of disability than to type of placement.Keywords
