Future Aspirations of Students with Severe Learning Disabilities and of Their Parents on Leaving Special Schooling.
Smyth, Marisa; McConkey, Roy
British Journal of Learning Disabilities, v31 n1 p54-59 Mar 2003

The almost unanimous wish of the young people to have a job was not matched by parents, although nearly half expressed the wish that they would have at least part-time work. (Contains references.)
