Evaluating the Pleins Rayons model for inclusive employment of individuals with intellectual disabilities or autism: A potential pathway for the development of inclusive employment in Québec?

In Québec, few local organizations focus on inclusive employment and training for individuals with autism or intellectual disabilities (ID). Pleins Rayons is one such organization, with promising programs. However, existing research lacks comprehensive evaluation of its impact.
Our proposed research aims to fill this gap by assessing Pleins Rayons’ activities and their effects on individuals and the community. This evaluation could inform policymakers about resource needs for province-wide implementation and improve policies for enhancing social and economic participation of individuals with ID or autism in Québec.
The overall objective is to conduct a developmental program evaluation at Pleins Rayons, with sub-objectives including logic model development, impact evaluation, training description, and policy recommendations.
