- 요약Employment skill training for transition-aged youth with disabilities is important to their long-term growth and development. Most young adults with disabilities will enter the workforce post-high school rather than attending college. That is why it can be imperative for youth with disabilities to establish work skill development and training prior to exiting high school. It is established that certain disabilities can impair youth more than others in terms of employment outcomes. Although the prevalence of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, Crohn's disease, lupus, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis has been rising among youth, relatively little is known about this population's level of participation in vocational rehabilitation (VR), pre-employment transition services, or employment. The present study sought to address this by comparing the involvement of youth with autoimmune conditions with another disability group, youth with physical disabilities/conditions (not listed elsewhere) using the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) longitudinal VR database, or RSA-911 database, for the post-COVID-19 pandemic federal Program Years 2021-2023. This study compared rates of participation of both disability categories in (1) pre-employment transition services ((a) job exploration counseling, (b) work-based learning experiences, (c) counseling on post-secondary education opportunities, (d) workplace readiness training, and (e) instruction in self-advocacy), (2) the rates of exiting vocational rehabilitation services employed; and (3) wages per hour and the number of hours worked per week among employed participants.This study included a total of 5,559 VR consumers from both disability groups (autoimmune disorders, physical disorders/conditions (not listed elsewhere)). The sample with autoimmune disorders contained participants from five separate categories in the RSA-911 database (arthritis and rheumatism, diabetes mellitus, digestive, immune deficiencies excluding HIV/AIDS, or multiple sclerosis) and included 1,165 participants. The physical disorder/conditions (not listed elsewhere) group contained 4,394 participants. Descriptive, chi-square, and t-test analyses were utilized to examine the associations between individual-level variables, utilization of pre-employment transition services, and employment outcomes.Results indicated that participants with autoimmune disorders were significantly less likely to participate in two of the five pre-employment transition services (job exploration counseling, work-based learning experiences) than those with physical disorders/conditions (not listed elsewhere). There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of exiting employed (4.6% of the autoimmune disorder sample exited VR services employed compared with 13.7% of the physical disability/conditions (not listed elsewhere) sample). Yet, participants in the autoimmune disorders group earned more per hour ($15.09 per hour for the autoimmune disorders group compared with $13.76 per hour for the physical disorders/conditions (not listed elsewhere) group) and worked more hours per week (32.4 hours per week for the autoimmune disorders group compared with 29.8 hours for the physical disorders/conditions (not listed elsewhere) group).Findings from this study can help to initiate better service utilization of pre-employment transition services by transition-aged youth within these disability categories to improve employment outcomes. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
