CRP-RCEP Fact Sheet
Supporting Individuals with Autism in Integrated Community Jobs: Identifying Support Needs to Facilitate Success
People with autism are significantly under served in terms of achieving employment outcomes supported by the state/federal vocational rehabilitation (VR) program. While the data available is based on a narrow definition of autism used by the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA), only 0.6% of all successful VR closures in 2005 were individuals with autism. The actual number of successful closures in 2005 for individuals with autism was 1,141 (Dew & Alan, 2007).
