Following vocational rehabilitation intervention, 55 participants (56%) were rehabilitated (i.e., employed) and 43 (44%) were not rehabilitated. Of the 55 successfully-closed cases with complete occupational placement data, 25 (47%) were placed in service occupations, and the remaining 28 were distributed across the occupational spectrum. Both successful and unsuccessful groups had similar psychometric profiles, types of Division of Vocational Rehabilitation services, and work experiences but differed in length of services provision and race. In addition, these results indicated that persons with both borderline IQ and SLD experienced successful closures at rates similar to persons with SLD alone and that most are placed in human-service jobs.
