Abstract

The adult adjustment of 911 learning-disabled individuals 1 year after graduation was investigated in terms of general characteristics (marital status, leisure activities); employment characteristics; high school vocational training; postsecondary education; and perceptions of high school experiences. Almost all individuals were single and living at home; 77 percent were engaged in full-time or part-time work. (Author/JDD)
