Abstract
Vocational rehabilitation (VR) services can be challenging for certain persons with disabilities, particularly persons with mental illness, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and substance use disorders (SUD). This study focused on successful (status 26) and unsuccessful (status 28) closures contained in the Longitudinal Study of the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Programs (LSVRSP). Individuals with ADHD, mental illness, physical disabilities, SUD, and learning disabilities had the lowest successful closure rates (43.2%, 45.5%, 50.6%, 51.3%, and 51. 4%, respectively). Consumers reported a need for additional services, lack of job availability, family problems, discrimination, and transportation issues as leading reasons for unsuccessful closure. The results indicate a need for more comprehensive services directed towards persons with behavioral disabilities.
