Predictors of Employment and Job Quality of VR Consumers with Deafblindness

The purpose of this study was to investigate employment outcomes for vocational rehabilitation (VR) consumers with deafblindness, with a sample of 1,382 consumers obtained from the Rehabilitation Services Administration Case Service Report (RSA-911) data. Overall, the results indicate that several VR service-related factors are associated with whether deafblind consumers obtain competitive employment, but consumers’ personal characteristics are much more important in determining job quality.
