Who Drops Out and What Happens to Them?
Lichtenstein, Stephen; Blackorby, Jose
Journal for Vocational Special Needs Education, v18 n1 p6-11 Fall 1995

Failure and dislike of school were primary reasons. Similarities between dropouts with disabilities and those in the general population suggest the same prevention strategies could be useful. (SK)
