A followup survey was conducted of Connecticut special education graduates. Respondents included 332 young adults (57% of those sampled) who graduated from 1981 through 1984 and were identified as learning disabled (LD), socially/emotionally maladjusted, and educable mentally retarded (EMR). The survey questionnaires focused on employment, community living, and adjustment. The sample was slightly over-representative of EMR students and under-representative of LD students. Results found that 93% of the graduates were single, and only 10% had pursued any postsecondary education. Of the 85% who were currently employed, 50% worked full-time. Service occupations and clerical/sales positions accounted for half of those employed. Seventy-nine percent lived with relatives, with 15% receiving additional money from parents weekly and 24% receiving financial assistance from sources such as relatives and supplementary social security insurance. Three-quarters of the young adults had driver's licenses and over half owned a car or truck. Most former students expressed positive attitudes about their work environment, wages, working hours, and fellow employees, but not with work benefits. A large majority were happy with their current living arrangement, and spent their leisure time listening to music, watching television, and socializing with friends. Significant differences among the groups are also discussed. (JDD)
