Group therapy may help young adults with neurodevelopmental differences (NDDs; such as autism spectrum disorder [ASD] or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ADHD]) socialize and manage mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression during the transition to adulthood (18-25 years old). Family members may also benefit from group therapy during this transition period. Despite this need, few group therapy programs in a virtual/telehealth format have been developed to help young adults with NDDs and their families during the transition to adulthood. The present study sought to provide initial feasibility and acceptability data for a parallel young adult and family member group treatment program for young adults with NDDs transitioning to adulthood. Launching! to adulthood is an 8-week program utilizing evidence-based interventions to reduce distress and support the transition to independence for young adults with NDDs and their family members. Measures of well-being were collected pre- and post-intervention. Brief qualitative interviews were conducted post-intervention. From our pilot study, we found that the Launching! program was acceptable and feasible for both family members and young adults, with high ratings of satisfaction. Three themes were shared by young adults and family members, including gaining group connection and support from others in a similar life circumstance, learning the importance of self-care, and gaining new skills. Barriers to attendance included work conflicts and internet difficulties. This pilot trial of the Launching! program is novel in that few existing therapies have addressed challenges of the transition to adulthood for individuals with NDDs. Launching! has the potential to help young adults with NDDs prepare for postsecondary goals and may be utilized by businesses to support employees with NDDs.

Centers for independent living (CILs) and vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies offer transition services that many youth with disabilities could benefit from, but little is known about the existence of and potential for collaborations between these agencies. In this study, we examined data from VR agencies to assess their relationships with CILs involving transition-age youth at the national and state levels, focusing on two types of collaborations: referrals from CILs to VR agencies and VR youth’s use of CIL services. Although many CILs and VR agencies do work together, their relationships vary, and these collaborations reflect only a small fraction of VR youth who are transition age. Further, for each collaboration type, the VR youth involved in these collaborations differ from other people who apply for or use VR services in terms of their characteristics and service use patterns. The findings point to opportunities for greater collaboration between CILs and VR agencies. They also indicate a need for more research to understand the optimal formats and contexts for such collaborations and the criteria for effectively promoting them at the person and agency levels.

Transition age youth with disabilities and their families can access a variety of Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA)-funded employment and training services. This study evaluated the impact of these services on youth and parent employment outcomes. These services were coordinated as part of the Wisconsin Promoting Readiness of Minors in SSI (PROMISE) federal demonstration grant. Youth with disabilities receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits were randomly assigned to ‘usual’ services, including those available through school and vocational rehabilitation (VR) transition services, or ‘enhanced’ case management and transition services through the Wisconsin PROMISE demonstration. Parents who consented to participate could receive educational, employment, and financial self-sufficiency services and support through the Family Service Plan (FSP) connected to the youth’s PROMISE VR case. Youth and parents could also choose to receive WIOA Title I and Title III employment and training services, as well as Youth Apprenticeship, available through the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development’s Division of Employment and Training (DET). A hierarchical logistic regression analysis demonstrated that VR services predicted higher youth employment rates and DET services predicted higher youth and parent employment rates. A linear regression analysis demonstrated that PROMISE services predicted higher youth wages and DET services predicted higher youth and parent employment wages. Findings suggest the coordination of employment-focused services across programs leads to increases in employment outcomes. Limitations and implications are discussed regarding the relationship between VR services, DET employment and training services, and employment outcomes.
处于过渡年龄段的残疾青少年及其家庭可以获得由《劳动力创新机会法案》（WIOA）资助的各种就业和培训服务。本研究评估了这些服务对青少年和家长就业结果的影响。这些服务是威斯康星州 "促进未成年人做好社会保障计划准备"（PROMISE）联邦示范拨款的一部分。领取社会保障收入补助金（SSI）的残疾青少年被随机分配到 "常规 "服务（包括通过学校和职业康复（VR）过渡服务提供的服务）或通过威斯康星州 PROMISE 示范项目提供的 "强化 "个案管理和过渡服务。同意参与的家长可以通过与青少年的 PROMISE 职业康复案例相关联的家庭服务计划 (FSP) 获得教育、就业和财务自立方面的服务和支持。青少年和家长还可以选择接受威斯康星州劳动力发展部就业与培训处（DET）提供的 WIOA Title I 和 Title III 就业与培训服务以及青年学徒计划。分层逻辑回归分析表明，VR 服务可预测更高的青年就业率，DET 服务可预测更高的青年和家长就业率。线性回归分析表明，PROMISE 服务可预测更高的青年工资，而 DET 服务可预测更高的青年和家长就业工资。研究结果表明，协调各计划中以就业为重点的服务可提高就业率。本文还讨论了有关 VR 服务、DET 就业和培训服务以及就业结果之间关系的局限性和影响。

Disability adjustment counseling (DAC) focuses on the diverse process of adjusting to chronic illness or disability, including responding to the initial diagnosis or the onset and adjusting to changes and barriers that arise from living with a disability. Although DAC is a primary role and function of rehabilitation counselors, there have been limited efforts to explore the use of DAC in the field. The purpose of this study was to survey certified rehabilitation counselors (CRCs) about the extent of DAC utilization and its focus, the theoretical basis for DAC, and professional preparation. A cross-sectional survey was completed with 109 CRCs recruited through the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC). The research team developed a 35-item survey questionnaire for this study. Most respondents identified as white women with master’s degrees (mean age = 51.41 years). Approximately two-thirds of the respondents (67.78%) reported engaging in DAC for approximately a third (31.15%) of their professional time. Many respondents reported wanting to spend more of their professional time providing DAC. Most respondents (75%) indicated they do not operate from a specific model of psychosocial adjustment to chronic illness or disability. Nearly half (48.6%) of the respondents reported that there were not adequate options for DAC counseling. The survey results confirm that DAC is an important role and function for rehabilitation counselors. Although the sample was too small to permit broad generalizations, the results imply that further exploration of the research questions among a larger sample is warranted.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to substantial changes in the work conditions related to employment status and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of many people. The pandemic also magnified systemic inequities among marginalized groups, including people with disabilities and chronic illnesses, and people living with HIV (PLHIV). The purpose of this study is to (a) understand PLHIV’s employment status, employment needs, and use of employment services during the COVID-19 pandemic; and (b) to examine the factors associated with HRQOL among both employed and unemployed PLHIV during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional survey study was conducted from 2020 to 2021 as the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in the U.S. We used both online surveys and structured phone interviews for data collection. A total of 759 responses were used in the current analysis. Study findings show that 65.5% of the employed participants experienced changes in work conditions (i.e., layoffs, reduced work hours, furloughs) and 73% of the unemployed participants reported that the pandemic had an impact on their interest and/or ability to enter employment. Our results show that concern about contracting COVID-19 at work or commuting to work, and employment status have significant relationships with HRQOL. Implications for rehabilitation counseling practice and research are discussed.

Positive psychology has brought us two key tools to support the well-being of individuals: character strengths and mindfulness. Character strengths, or the positive characteristics that make up who a person is, can be utilized to build awareness on identity and ability. Character strengths interventions have been researched for several decades, with newer utilizations in rehabilitation settings. Similarly, mindfulness, while originating centuries ago, has found modern uses in vocational settings. Mindfulness, defined as the ability to maintain attention in an intentional way, has been scientifically shown to improve well-being. These two interventions have recently been combined within Mindfulness-Based Strength Practice (MBSP; Niemiec, 2014). This intervention focuses on character strengths and mindfulness in a combined format and has shown preliminary evidence for benefit in a variety of settings. This paper explores MBSP and proposes its potential benefits in vocational rehabilitation settings, along with additional research implications and considerations for practice.

This article discusses a model of teaching called HyFlex, or ‘hybrid’ and ‘flexible,’ which is primarily for programs teaching both in-person and online. It discusses how the HyFlex model works, including initial development, with guidance on language to help students understand its application. During and after the COVID-19 pandemic, some programs were forced to provide online options, and then transition back to classrooms. This article discusses curricular design strategies for student engagement and technology options for facilitating HyFlex teaching in a way that allows people to attend in person and online still. Important descriptions of accessibility options are included, as well, to meet the needs to students with disabilities. Finally, discussions of potential value to institutions for the purposes of enrollment and faculty critiques of the model will also be included.

The primary aim of this brief paper is to suggest fertile research areas that could serve to both navigate and enrich our understanding of psychosocial adaptation to chronic illness and disability (PACID). More specifically, the paper seeks to outline broadly, for future consideration, eight such areas that span a wide range of theoretical and research venues. Included are, first, PACID-associated domains based on concepts that may be regarded as predictors, as well as moderators and mediators, of PACID. These include concepts such as duration of CID, level of existing psychological energy (e.g., motivation, vigor), presence of denial, and the influence of early-in-life, single, and cumulative traumatic events. Second, consideration of concepts embedded in the adaptation process itself is offered, including personal perceptions and beliefs about CID impact, such as illness intrusion and self-identity; the nature and unfolding of personal growth following onset of CID; and more generally, the inherent veracity of models advocating imminent psychological growth following traumatic experiences, including the onset of CID.

Job satisfaction represents how an employee evaluates their job as favorable to unfavorable. Job satisfaction is widely studied because it can affect how an employee thinks, feels, and behaves in relation to their job. There is evidence that a supportive work environment tends to have outcomes that are more positive for the individual employees and the organization in general. While the rehabilitation counseling supervisor is a source of support (e.g., supervisor shows that they value counselor’s contributions; supervisor supports counselor decisions; supervisor trusts counselor to try new things), supervisors are often tasked with many duties in addition to their critical role of supervision and rehabilitation counselors may experience barriers to receiving support from supervisors. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between job satisfaction and support, in the form of prosocial behaviors from individuals in their organization (e.g., one member of an organization helping another complete a task; one member of the organization conveying actions of respect towards another; one member of the organization listening to anxiety and fears at work of another). Among the sample of rehabilitation counselors employed in the state vocational rehabilitation program studied, results indicate that rehabilitation counselors who received support from their supervisor and support from others in the organization reported the highest levels of job satisfaction. For counselors receiving low levels of support from their supervisor, receiving support from others in the organization seemed to make up for lack of support from the supervisor in terms of job satisfaction. In terms of job satisfaction, results indicate it is critical for rehabilitation counselors to receive support from individuals in the workplace in some capacity.

Among the sample of rehabilitation counselors employed in the state vocational rehabilitation program studied, results indicate that rehabilitation counselors who received support from their supervisor and support from others in the organization reported the highest levels of job satisfaction. For counselors receiving low levels of support from their supervisor, receiving support from others in the organization seemed to make up for lack of support from the supervisor in terms of job satisfaction. In terms of job satisfaction, results indicate it is critical for rehabilitation counselors to receive support from individuals in the workplace in some capacity.","PeriodicalId":92715,"journal":{"name":"Rehabilitation counselors and educators journal","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81323123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
