Abstract	This study examined correspondence in selections of job preference across a video CD-ROM assessment program, community jobs observed during employment site visits, and photographs of employment sites. For 20 participants ages 18 - 22 with developmental disabilities, the video CD-ROM program was initially administered to identify preferred jobs, followed by community job visits and photographs of employment sites. Some community job visits were ones selected as highly preferred using the video CD-ROM program while other visits were not selected. Results indicated 34 of 40 jobs preferred on the video CD-ROM program were identified as preferred after community observations, and 33 of 40 jobs preferred on the video CD-ROM program were identified as preferred from photographs. Twenty of 40 nonselected jobs were identified as preferred following community visits. Results are discussed as to potential validity of the video CD-ROM program as one method of identifying job preferences for individuals with developmental disabilities.
