Policymakers, researchers, and state vocational rehabilitation administrators share an interest in the long-term outcomes of individuals participating in the public state vocational rehabilitation program. Yet, there is limited research in the area of job retention or the service delivery practices used to support individuals with disabilities to achieve long-term success in competitive integrated employment (CIE). This article begins to address this research gap by conducting a retrospective review of 139 records of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that were referred to an employment support organization for CIE between October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2017. In comparison to the high national unemployment rate experienced by individuals with ASD, 104 individuals that were referred for CIE secured employment in 126 different jobs. Findings indicate that most study participants were able to move from moderate and intensive levels of support to minimal levels of support by 18 months of employment. It appears that employees with ASD benefit from the continual assessment and subsequent support that occurs during the extended service component of ongoing support services for supported and customized employment. Services that were offered during this phase included ongoing customization of the initial job, lateral job moves, and career advancement.

自闭症谱系障碍员工实现长期就业成功：就业保留和干预的回顾性审查

政策制定者、研究人员和州职业康复管理人员都对参与公共州职业康复计划的个人的长期结果感兴趣。然而，在工作保留或用于支持残疾人在竞争性综合就业 (CIE) 中取得长期成功的服务提供实践领域的研究有限。本文通过对 2009 年 10 月 1 日至 2017 年 12 月 31 日期间转介给 CIE 就业支持组织的 139 份自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 患者的记录进行回顾性审查，开始填补这一研究空白。患有 ASD 的人经历了高全国失业率，104 名被转介到 CIE 的人在 126 种不同的工作中获得了就业。结果表明，大多数研究参与者在工作 18 个月后能够从中等和密集的支持水平转变为最低水平的支持。似乎患有 ASD 的员工受益于持续评估和后续支持，这些支持在支持和定制就业的持续支持服务的扩展服务部分期间发生。在此阶段提供的服务包括初始工作的持续定制、横向工作调动和职业发展。似乎患有 ASD 的员工受益于持续评估和后续支持，这些支持在支持和定制就业的持续支持服务的扩展服务部分期间发生。在此阶段提供的服务包括初始工作的持续定制、横向工作调动和职业发展。似乎患有 ASD 的员工受益于持续评估和后续支持，这些支持在支持和定制就业的持续支持服务的扩展服务部分期间发生。在此阶段提供的服务包括初始工作的持续定制、横向工作调动和职业发展。
