- Abstract
While a small proportion of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) receive college support from state vocational rehabilitation agencies (VR), postsecondary education has potential to improve employment outcomes for these individuals. This study examined postsecondary education support provided by VR to individuals with IDD and the associations between educational completion and earnings. Significant earnings differences were found between those who did or did not complete postsecondary education. Differences were also found among the proportions of rehabilitation cases of individuals with IDD that were provided with postsecondary support over a nine-year period. Recommendations for research and practice are offered.
