In a recent study provided for The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research, the influence of MeMinder was examined in the vocational rehabilitation space. The study contrasted old methodologies of task instruction (measurement of time spent creating custom binders, pictures lists, verbal instruction, travel) with the implementation of assistive technology/electronic job coaches. In addition, the study measured end-user adoption and usage on-the-job site.  The study included 322 clients with intellectual disabilities and 81 job coaches/vocational rehabilitation professionals.
