Abstract	Current research has identified poor post-school outcomes for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities; in fact, poorer than any other disability group. Employment support, such as vocational skill training, can improve outcomes and increase opportunities for paid employment. With recent advances in technology, a myriad of technology devices and programs offer relatively inexpensive and portable forms of support to vocational training programs. Moreover, today's ubiquitous use of technology allows for the use of technology supports in a way that may not be as stigmatizing in the work setting relative to more traditional forms of support. The purpose of this review is to summarize the literature regarding the use of technology in vocational skills training programs. Articles identified via a systematic search of the literature are summarized according to (a) participant characteristics, (b) vocational skills, (c) intervention characteristics and (d) outcome measures. Sixty studies were identified as providing vocational skills training through the utilization of a technological device and are discussed. Additionally, trends in intervention components, considerations for practitioners, and areas for future research are discussed. (As Provided).
