Siegel, Shepherd; And Others

Exceptional Children, v58 n4 p346-56 Feb 1992

Data on employment rates, job changes, continuing education participation, and access to benefit packages are reported for 94 youths with mild disabilities who participated in a transition program with an intensive postsecondary component. Program participants had favorable outcomes when compared with a national sample, but they stabilized at an entry level of work participation. (Author/JDD)
