Popis: From its inception, the public vocational rehabilitation program has focused on efforts to assist Americans with physical and mental disabilities, through a variety of services, to become gainfully employed and self-reliant. This article describes a study in which the rehabilitation outcomes (i.e., closure status & weekly earnings) of persons with mental retardation were analyzed. Six predictor variables were used to predict one dichotomous and one continuous criterion variable: closure status and weekly earnings. Results are presented for each criterion variable, and the implications of the findings for service and research are discussed.
