Abstract
Abstract: Two case examples are described involving long-term maintenance of supported work placements with persons who are moderately or severely disabled: (1) a successful supported employment program conducted by rural Employment Alternatives, Inc., and (2) a successful maintenance procedure conducted by the Ames Community School District. The first example documents that the program was successful via consumer outcomes and demonstrates the pragmatic problems associated with the lack of fading of job coaches. The second case shows how assessment data can be used to identify a potential maintenance problem (overreliance on a job coach) and how an individually designed maintenance plan can be developed by changing the role of the job coach. The results of these examples are discussed relative to the need for systematic fading plans that are based on direct assessment of individual consumers
