Abstract
The present study sought to determine whether involving nondisabled co-workers in the training of supported employees could increase (a) cost efficiency, (b) tenure, (c) job retention, (d) hours worked, and (e) gross wages. The present study also sought to determine whether co-worker involvement was related to the supported employee's (a) IQ, (b) level of mental retardation, (c) age, (d) gender, (e) ethnicity, and (f) number of disabilities. Co-worker involvement did not increase cost efficiency, although it appeared to increase the tenure by more than a year (12.36 months). No other employment outcomes were related to co-worker involvement, nor was co-worker involvement associated with any demographic variable investigated.
