Abstract: The purpose of the present article is to evaluate the relationship
of selected characteristics of supported employment with different jobs and
specific client abilities in Italy. A specific focus of this project was on
looking at improving the quality of life, and analyzing the relationship among
job characteristics, conditions, cognitive capacities, working abilities,
autonomy, and neuropsychological characteristics. Statistical analysis
demonstrated that working abilities were lower than the other abilities
measured on the Adaptive Behavior Inventory.
