While PSE options for individuals with IDD are very diverse in their particular offerings, these three categories are widely used for grouping program types: 2-year, 4-year, and high school–based programs Hybrid, fully inclusive, and separate programs Employment, academic, and independent living programs Residential, nonresidential, and mixed living option programs

According to the survey respondents, on which two activities do VR and PSE programs collaborate the least? Transportation and staff training Career exploration and vocational assessment Job training and job development Resume skill building and mock interviews
Which primary factor was shown to be a predictor of collaboration between VR and PSE programs? Type of PSE program Location of PSE program Support needs of individuals served by PSE program PSE program directors’ familiarity with VR services
