Supported Employment Fidelity Scale (2008 draft): There is a scale for best practices for supported employment. It includes the following as best practices: (1) Ongoing, work-based vocational assessment (assessments are not one time for right job and support needs but constant – also assessments at first are supposed to be profiles that do not take long and delay job search); (2) Rapid job search for competitive job (the search for a job should start no more than 30 days from initial meeting); (3) Competitive jobs (the type of job sought and obtained should be for competitive wages in integrated setting (not primarily people with disabilities) that are permanent not temporary and full time not part time); (4) time unlimited follow along supports (supports should be forever); (5) Employment services are done in the community including (meeting with participant, job finding, follow-along assessments).
