Exploring Employment Preparation and Postschool Outcomes for Students with Mild Intellectual Disability
Joshi, Gauri S.; Bouck, Emily C.; Maeda, Yukiko
Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals, v35 n2 p97-107 Aug 2012
Employment is an important postschool goal for students with mild intellectual disability; yet, results for this particular population are often not disaggregated from other disability categories. In this study, data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2) were used to explore the extent to which students with mild intellectual disability participated in employment-related transition activities, the relationship between participation in these activities and school demographic variables, and the relationship between these activities and postschool employment outcomes. The results revealed three main findings: (a) the majority of students with mild intellectual disability participated in employment-related transition activities, (b) participation in employment-related transition activities differed by school demographics, and (c) postschool employment status was related to participation in employment-related transition activities while in school.
