Abstract:

Survey data collected over a ten year period were reviewed in an effort to assess the stability of the Front Line Supervisor position within the intellectual disability field.  It was determined that salary growth essentially matched the rate of inflation,  but were sufficient to be considered a living wage for only single individuals with no children.  Both turnover and vacancy rates increased over time, reaching 32.9% and 13.4% in the final year of study, respectively.
