Abstract
Integration of workers with disabilities is a critical outcome of supported employment. But in practice it has been difficult to achieve. This paper reviews data-based research designed to increase the social interactions of workers with disabilities in supported employment settings. The literature is divided into four areas for review (social skills instruction, communication instruction, problem solving, and co-worker assistance). Specific interventions for increasing integration are analyzed and evaluated with suggestions for best practice for instructional procedures. Recommendations for future research are discussed.
