ABSTRACT:
Preparing people with disabilities for employment is an important task. Many people with disabilities have difficulty learning and performing employment tasks without additional support or guidance. There are many interventions that can increase the learning and performance of individuals with disabilities. This article describes how Literacy-Based Behavioral Interventions (LBBI), instructional interventions using print and/or pictures as an instructional medium, can help teachers, job coaches, and employers who work with individuals with disabilities to encourage positive work behaviors.
