Despite the indications of national and state policies that promote individual employment for people with disabilities, the majority of adults with developmental disabilities in the USA (76%) are served by facility-based services such as sheltered workshops.

The research questions focused on: (a) respondents' preferences between workshops and individual employment; (b) respondents' perceptions about the consumers' ability to perform in individual employment; (c) considerations influencing respondents' choices between workshops and individual employment, and (d) the role of professionals encouraging consumers and their families in their choices about employment.
