Major findings include the following:

  • National estimates suggest that there has been modest growth in the number of individuals in integrated employment since 1988.
  • The estimated percentage of individuals participating in integrated employment services was 19.3 in FY2011.
  • Growth in supported employment primarily occurred between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s, and there has not been a meaningful change in the number of people with IDD in integrated employment since 2001.
  • Growth in community-based non-work services has continued for states that report on this service.
  • There is large variation across states in participation in integrated employment (Table 1).
