Project Exploration: Search for Self.
Johnson, Charlotte F.; Stepp, Adelaide A.
Project Exploration developed and pilot-tested a process for the career development of 21 learning-disabled (LD) women on the Fayetteville campus of the University of Arkansas. The project focused on enlightened self-awareness as well as the development of essential academic and behavioral skills. The project helped the LD women to gain knowledge of their strengths and weaknesses, develop strategies for accommodating learning differences and performance difficulties, gain knowledge about the world of work and the demands of specific careers, establish realistic goals for career growth, and develop skills for obtaining and retaining jobs. This report describes the theoretical foundation of the project and its methodology. Appendices contain assessment materials, a list of media resources for LD adults and adolescents, a checklist on planning events for LD adults, and guidelines for using audiotaped texts with LD students. A 69-item bibliography concludes the report. (JDD)
