A comparison of 44 semi-rural learning-disabled postsecondary-age youth with 64 urban nonlearning-disabled same-age peers found significantly higher dropout rates and significantly lower basic skills competency levels among the learning-disabled youth. No differences were found between learning-disabled graduates and dropouts in terms of employment status. (Author/JDD)
