This pretest/posttest study investigated the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary program in which occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists used a combination of video modeling, scenario-based learning, guided discussion, and reflection on the development of interpersonal skills and work readiness among students with disabilities. This study examined 20 high school and postgraduate transitional students enrolled full-time in Life Skills Support classrooms in two rural high schools. Participants completed 21 dynamic and interactive group sessions which included video modeling, scenario-based learning, guided discussion, and reflection. Sessions were completed once a week, for one hour, and focused on enhancing interpersonal skills, cognitive skills, work habits, and performance skills. Sessions were delivered via an interdisciplinary model with participants' primary occupational therapist and speech-language pathologist. Results of the paired-samples t-test found a statistically significant increase in the Becker Work Adjustment Profile-2 scores in three categories: Cognitive Skills, Work Performance, and Broad Work Adjustment. All students showed growth on Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) T-scores; 18 of the 20 students achieved GAS T-scores greater than threshold performance.
