Despite being the largest group of vocational rehabilitation (VR) service users, they frequently experience poor employment outcomes at program exit. Limited research has assessed the impact of assistive technology (AT) and supported employment (SE) services on achieving CIE, particularly during and after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study examined the independent associations of AT and SE services with achieving CIE at program exit and evaluated variations in CIE outcomes across the pre-COVID, during-COVID, and post-COVID periods among TAYA with cognitive disabilities served by state VR programs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of data from the Rehabilitation Services Administration's Case Service Report (July 2017\u2013June 2022) was conducted, involving 238,561 TAYA with cognitive disabilities.

Over half of participants (55.9%) did not achieve CIE at program exit. Only 1.4% received AT services and 10.7% received SE services.
