Graduates with Mental Disabilities: The Story Three Years Later.
Frank, Alan R.; Sitlington, Patricia L.
Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v28 n1 p30-37 Mar 1993
Iowa high school graduates (n=322) with mental disabilities were interviewed one and three years after graduation, concerning general status, employment, and adult adjustment. Over the postgraduation period, subjects became more independent in living arrangements and increased the number of hours per week of employment, but only approximately 20% met criteria for successful adjustment.
