Affleck, James Q.; And Others
Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v25 n4 p315-24 Dec 1990
The study evaluated the postschool status of approximately 2,600 special education and 1,100 nonhandicapped students at 6 to 30 months after school exit. Results indicated that across all variables, former students identified as nonhandicapped and learning disabled fared better than students identified as mildly mentally retarded. (Author/DB)
