Abstract
The rapid growth of supported employment programs in the last five years has been accompanied by the strong belief that through such programs many people with severe disabilities would be more satisfied with their lives and receive higher earnings than in sheltered workshops, work activity centers, and adult day care. This paper presents data collected in New York State that test these propositions and compare the benefits with the costs of operating the supported employment program.Keywords
