Overview of supported employment.

Sanders et al. (1989) wrote a story-style review. They traced how supported employment began.

The paper shows how views on disability moved from care to work. It asks how ABA can guide future job programs.

The review finds no numbers. It maps ideas, not results.

It says ABA tools like task analysis and reinforcement fit well in real-work sites.

Steege et al. (1989) adds dollar facts to the same year. Their Illinois study shows every dollar spent returns 75 cents and workers earn 37% more.

Hall (2010) updates the money story. Using 2002-2007 data, it says the program still pays for itself nationwide.

Matson et al. (2004) shows how. One adult with severe disability used DRA-DRO to cut problem behavior and keep a community job.

Van Hanegem et al. (2014) go further. Tech prompts let adults with profound disabilities work on their own.

Together the set moves from idea to cash proof to step-by-step tactics.

You now have a full arc. Start with the R et al. map, show funders the W et al. and Hall (2010) payback, then pick L et al. or E et al. tactics to make placement stick. Use the chain to write better IEP transition goals and justify funding for job coaches.
