A follow-up survey was conducted in St. Cloud, Minnesota, of 127 (from a total of 357 students) former special education students who left school between 1988 and 1992. Respondents, most of whom completed the survey by phone, were predominantly male (69 percent), and most (63 percent) had been classified as learning disabled, with 29 percent identified as mentally handicapped. Results are reported for the following areas: (1) postsecondary education (41 percent had enrolled in postsecondary schools); (2) living arrangements (47 percent lived with family and 44 percent independently); (3) community living (most drove as their primary form of transportation); (4) financial independence (71 percent did not receive any monthly income from government assistance programs); (5) educational evaluation (nearly all students felt more time should be given to career planning); (6) services from community agencies (2 to 11 percent were receiving such services, though 60 percent expressed an interest in such services); (7) satisfaction (66 percent were very satisfied with their lives in general). Extensive comparisons with other follow-up studies of special education students indicated, among other findings, that the district's dropout rate (6 percent) was significantly lower than the 37 percent rate for students with disabilities nationally and that more former special education students are employed. Appendices, which comprise half of the document, provide an item analysis of the questionnaire, written questionnaire responses, results of an assistive technology survey, and written responses to a follow up of former regular education students.
