Abstract
This research explores the mediating effects of severity of disability on the employment outcomes of participants with disabilities, taking into account their perception of interest-job match. Participants were 115 high school students with disabilities who took part in an intensive school-to-work transition program that explored occupational interests in relation-to-work opportunities. Results of a 1-way analysis of covariance indicated that severity of disability had a significant effect on the employment outcomes of participants despite interest-job matching. Although participants experienced positive employment outcomes in terms of job entry, these outcomes may not necessarily translate into higher earnings.
