尽管有相当多的研究对严重残疾人士的偏好进行了评估，但相对较少的调查性关注指向了支持工作环境中的偏好。我们评估了一项协议，用于在支持的工作中确定严重残疾成年人的工作偏好。该议定书涉及征求支助工作人员对受支助工作人员最喜欢和最不喜欢的任务的意见，进行多任务偏好评估，然后如有必要，对先前评估没有显示工作偏好的工作人员进行配对任务评估。对于12名参与的工人，多任务评估显示了对其中7名工人的偏好，随后，配对任务评估显示了对其余5名工人中4名的偏好。前者评估所需的时间比后者少40%。获得工作人员意见所需的时间要短得多，但准确地确定偏好(基于通过系统评估进行的确认)只是在某种程度上保持一致。讨论了关于有效确定支持的工作偏好的指导方针的结果，并指出了未来的研究领域，以制定更明确的指导方针。版权所有©2007 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
Despite considerable research on assessing preferences among people with severe disabilities, relatively little investigatory attention has been directed to preferences in supported work situations. We evaluated a protocol for identifying work preferences among adults with severe disabilities in supported jobs. The protocol involved obtaining opinions of support staff regarding most and least preferred tasks of a supported worker, conducting a multi-task preference assessment and then if necessary, a paired-task assessment for workers for whom the former assessment did not reveal work preferences. For the 12 participating workers, the multi-task assessment revealed preferences for 7 of the workers and subsequently, the paired-task assessment revealed preferences for 4 of the 5 remaining workers. The former assessment required 40% less time than the latter. Staff opinion required much less time to obtain, but accurately identified preferences (based on validation through systematic assessment) only somewhat consistently. Results are discussed regarding guidelines for efficiently identifying supported work preferences, and future research areas are noted for developing more definitive guidelines.
