A comparative analysis of directions, responses, and consequences involving persons with mental retardation in employment sites and vocational training programs

The primary focus of the transition initiative has been the attainment of employment outcomes for youths with disabilities. The expectation is that with the proper vocational training individuals with mental retardation can develop the survival skills necessary for competitive employment. The literature identifies compliance, or direction-following, as an essential social-vocational survival skill; yet, there is little empirical information on exactly what compliance responses to train and how to design the training environment.
