An Outcome Analysis of Community Rehabilitation Programs

Abstract

State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) programs frequently partner with community rehabilitation programs (CRPs) to provide key employment support to individuals with significant disabilities. However, the employment outcomes for many individuals have consisted of a lengthy period of time to placement, low wages, and limited hours. The Utah State Office of Rehabilitation (USOR) sought to learn whether recent agency CRP policy changes had a positive influence on client employment outcomes and use results to inform further internal evaluation efforts.
