Abstract: Editor's note. Often, invited joumal articles are culled from leading innovators and researchers in the field. These authors share their studies or inclinations with readers and represent trends in the field. This is a vital service in continued education. Yet, those at the core of these studies and trends – the recipients of services – rarely have an opportunity to offer their thoughts and ideas on the process. Therefore, I am excited to introduce an article by a man who has defied the odds. Indeed, Jim Prentice is a person the system wanted to give up on. Jim has cerebral …palsy and uses a wheelchair. His mostfunctional physical asset is the use of his thumb, which he uses to propel his motorized chair and activate his communicator. Yet, Jim is gainfully employed and enjoys a lifestyle similar to most readers. This is Jim's story. Show more

Abstract: Integration of workers with severe disabilities is a critical outcome of supported employment, but in practice it has been difficult to achieve. Few intervention strategies have been empirically validated. This article reviews data-based research designed to increase the social interactions of workers with severe disabilities in supported employment settings. The literature is divided into four areas for review: social skills instruction, problem solving, self-management, and coworker assistance. Specific interventions for increasing integration are analyzed and evaluated with suggestions for best practice of instructional techniques. Recommendations for future research are discussed.
