Employment Outcomes and Social Integration of Students with Mild Handicaps: The Quality of Life Two Years after High School.

Scuccimarra, David J.; Speece, Deborah L.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v23 n4 p213-19 Apr 1990

Employment outcomes and social adjustment of 65 mildly handicapped students who exited high school in 1984 are examined. Most respondents (78 percent) were employed full time for minimum wage or better and used a family-friend network to secure employment. Most were also living at home and had positive perceptions of their social lives. (Author/PB)
