Results of an initial analysis of the employment specialist intervention time provided to consumers in supported competitive employment programs operated by the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) at Virginia Commonwealth University over 8 years was described. Analyses focused on the amount of staff intervention time provided as a percentage of the total number of hours worked by a consumer each week and a comparison of the amount of intervention time provided to two subsamples. Results indicated that consumers previously classified moderately or severely mentally retarded did not require a significantly greater amount of intervention time than those previously classified as borderline or mildly retarded during the first year of employment.
