This paper reviews and summarizes six research projects exploring possible methods for teaching vocation-oriented social skills to adolescent students with mild learning disabilities, behavioral disorders, or mental retardation. Projects discussed vary in terms of target social skills, intervention methods, settings, and generalizability. The six studies addressed: (1) behavior rehearsal with students who have learning disabilities; (2) problem solving, modeling, and role playing with students who have learning disabilities; (3) problem solving, modeling, and role playing with students who have mental retardation; (4) combined techniques with students who have mental retardation; (5) role playing and self-monitoring with students who have behavior disorders; and (6) combined techniques with multi-categorical students. A call is made for a comprehensive synthesis of proven methods to facilitate employment success among mildly disabled adolescents. Includes 53 references. (PB)
